Andrew Jackson’s Speech

“It will separate the Indians from immediate
contact with settlements of whites; free them
from the power of the States; enable them to
pursue happiness in their own way and under
their own rude institutions; will retard the
progress of decay, which is lessening their
numbers, and perhaps cause them gradually,
under the protection of the Government and
through the influence of good counsels, to
cast off their savage habits and become an
interesting, civilized, and Christian
community.”
Andrew Jackson’s Speech
 “Rightly
considered, the policy of the
General Government toward the red man
is not only liberal, but generous. He is
unwilling to submit to the laws of the
States and mingle with their population.
To save him from this alternative, or
perhaps utter annihilation, the General
Government kindly offers him a new
home, and proposes to pay the whole
expense of his removal and settlement.”
