“Murder is murder, and somebody must answer. Somebody must explain the streams of blood that flowed in the Indian country in the summer of 1838. Somebody must explain the 4000 silent graves that mark the trail of the Cherokees to their exile. I wish I could forget it all, but the picture of 645 wagons lumbering over the frozen ground with their cargo of suffering humanity still lingers in my memory.” (Private John G. Burnet’s Account [1890]) Private John G. Burnet knew Indian removal was wrong, but he participated anyway. Putting aside questions of morality and individual guilt, how did larger structural forces like the law, politics, ideology, and economic factors shape Indigenous dispossession from the Conestoga Massacre in 1763 (Week 5), to the destruction of Haudenosaunee villages in the American Revolution (Week 7), to the forcible relocation of the Cherokee in the 1830s (Week 9)? In your essay, be sure to include at least one primary source by an Indigenous author.

Ideology
In other words, what is this ideology about? How might this ideology be reproduced? Why is it that people
believe in the American Dream while empirical data tells us that social mobility in this country is much more
difficult today than in the past? How do people make sense of the ideology while they are struggling in their
lives? What are the obstacles to achieving the dream? What are both the positive and negative elements
connected to the American Dream. Be sociological and critical…
First, ask two of your close friends, parents, colleagues or others what the American Dream means to them
(capture honest and raw comments, do not interject).
Second, in light of what you have read, watched and listened to, examine the sociological meaning of the
American Dream, which means to critically assess its origins, how it is reproduced, who it might benefit, and
eventually the reality of social mobility in the U.S.
