Theresa Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Found this website it gives a short overview of things that occured in our histories for each day of the year. The guy wrote a book and the 1st half of the page is an advertisement for it, to get to the calander scroll down to the bottom.For instance on this date June 24 he has listed;June 24th1610: Membertou (MICMAC) becomes the 1st Indian Catholic.1832: Reverend Samuel Worcester has been arrested, and convicted of living, and working, among the CHEROKEEs with have a state permit, or having sworn an oath of allegiance to the state of Georgia. Today the Supreme Court rules that the state of Georgia has unfairly tried to exercise control over the CHEROKEEs contrary to federal law, and treaties. The court will strike down most of the anti-Indian laws passed by Georgia, including those seizing their lands, and nullifying tribal laws. Before the trail, President Andrew Jackson officially stated that he has no intention of supporting the CHEROKEEs over the state of Georgia. Speaking to the court's decision today, Jackson would be quoted as saying, "John Marshall has rendered his decision; now let him enforce it." Jackson would ignore the Supreme Court ruling, and continue in his efforts to move the CHEROKEEs out of the south, and into the Indian Territory.http://americanindian.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
