The statement that correctly contrasts the Lancaster Turnpike with the National Road is:
• The Lancaster Turnpike was limited to travel in one state.
The Lancaster Turnpike primarily operated within Pennsylvania, while the National Road (also known as the Cumberland Road) was intended to connect multiple states, facilitating interstate travel and commerce.
The U.S. government tried to enforce the Treaty of Payne's Landing by:
• It attacked Seminole villages.
The Treaty of Payne's Landing, signed in 1832, involved the forced removal of the Seminole people from Florida. When the Seminoles resisted relocation, the U.S. government resorted to military action, which included attacking Seminole villages during the Second Seminole War.
The Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) affirmed that Native American nations were distinct communities with sovereign rights, limiting state interference in their affairs. However, despite this ruling, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized the federal government to forcibly relocate Native American tribes from their ancestral lands to designated areas west of the Mississippi River, leading to widespread displacement and the resettlement of tribes such as the Cherokee along the infamous Trail of Tears. Thus, while the Court aimed to protect Native American rights, the government’s desire for land ultimately resulted in their forced removal.
