The settlers wanted the Natives to follow their culture and its benefits such as education, religion, and the usage of the environment.

Native American culture is full of rich traditions and values that many, myself included, have never taken the time to understand or even consider. Some of those traditions are strange to many outsiders today, and to the European settlers who took over their land hundreds of years ago. However, other aspects of Native American culture are rather similar to modern culture. There was, and still is, an emphasis placed on community within the tribe. This included stressing the importance of the individual, but also the family and the tribe itself.

Most of the tribes moved with no dilemma, but most of the Cherokees refused to move. So they went into a court battle, and the Cherokees won because they had full rights to the land. The President at the time, Andrew Jackson, ousted the ruling and proceeded with the Indian Removal Act. When the soldiers found out what the government wanted them to do was remove the Native Americans from their land, most of them resigned and turned in their insignias and regalia to the military.
