This blog designed to allow the students enrolled in my summer school US History course with an opportunity to do two things: (1) respond to all-important questions about the subject and (b) showcase their work
I believe that Gerald Ford should not have pardoned Richard Nixon, as Nixon had committed a crime that was not worth being pardoned for. Nixon wasn't a symbol or a person who stood up against the world, and therefore, he was unworthy of being pardoned, and therefore, Gerald Fords should not and did not pardon Nixon.
I don't think that Gerald Ford should have pardoned Richard Nixon because Nixon committed a horrible crime and should hold accountable for what he has done. Nixon is not the guy who should be viewed as a president.
I would suggest the president to adopt D policy. From that 4-page BRIA article, I gets to know that "Most of them were successfully adopting American ways and showing every sign that they meant to stay on their land“. This shows that Cherokee can change their customs to become civilized in order to stay on their land. During the division among the Cherokees, "Major Ridge and a small group of his supporters signed a treaty granting to the United States". Only a small group of people agreed to move away from their land. This shows that the Cherokee saw their land as very important. Even when the US Senate ratified the treaty that forced the Cherokees to leave their homeland, "more than 16,000 Cherokees defied the treaty, refusing to abandon their homes". It also illustrates the importance of land to the Cherokees.
