Basic Assumptions: Manifest Destiny 
Americans were building a new 
civilization in the 19th C, whereas 
European nations were falling apart 
Americans were granting individual 
rights to all peoples in the newly 
acquired territories
Democracy in the Western Hemisphere 
was a “palatable antidote” to the archaic 
monarchy in the Old World 
 American pioneers had a “moral 
idealism” that would seed the new 
territories
Divine Providence, through some 
selection process, wished to entrust the 
future of humanity to the leadership of 
the new “city on the hill” 
Americans had every justification for 
opposing or dominating any race or 
culture that chose not to share these 
positions

Frontier Thesis 
"The frontier is the line of most rapid 
Americanization." 
“…that coarseness and strength 
combined with acuteness and 
acquisitiveness; that practical inventive 
turn of mind, quick to find expedients; that 
masterful grasp of material things... that 
restless, nervous energy; that dominant 
individualism" -- could all be attributed to 
the influence of the frontier.

 Issue: Whether the state of Georgia could enforce 
its state laws upon the Cherokee Nation and deny 
the constitutional jurisdiction of the Supreme 
Court 
 Opinion: The Supreme Court denied the Cherokees’ 
request, reasoning it had no jurisdiction to decide 
such a case. Chief Justice John Marshall wrote, 
“this is not the tribunal that can redress the past or 
prevent the future.”
 Issue: Whether States had the reserve power to pass 
laws concerning the Indian nations 
 Opinion: The Court ruled that the State had no power 
to pass any laws affecting the Cherokees because 
federal jurisdiction over the Cherokees was exclusive. 
 Jackson stated that Chief Justice Marshall had made 
his decision; now let him enforce it! 
 Led to the “Trail of Tears”
