Two important tribes have accepted the provision made for their removal at the last session of Congress, and it is believed that their example will induce the remaining tribes also to seek the same obvious advantages.  \nJackson is describing the forced removal of Native Americans to lands west of the Mississippi River. Would you characterize this removal as a “benevolent policy of the Government”? Why or why not?  \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________  \n________________________________________________________________________________________________  \nThe consequences of a speedy removal will be important to the United States, to individual States, and to the Indians themselves. The pecuniary advantages which it promises to the Government are the least of its recommendations. It putsan end to all possible danger of collision between the authorities of the General and State Governments on account of the Indians. It will place a dense and civilized population in large tracts of country now occupied by a few savage hunters. By opening the whole territory between Tennessee on the north and Louisiana on the south to the settlement of the whites it will incalculably strengthen the southwestern frontier and render the adjacent States strong enough to repel future invasions without remote aid. It will relieve the whole State of Mississippi and the western part of Alabama of Indian occupancy, and enable those States to advance rapidly in population, wealth, and power. 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.  \nHow does Jackson describe Native Americans?  \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________  \n________________________________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________  \nAccording to Jackson, what are the potential benefits of removal for Native Americans?  \n© Student Handouts, [Inc. www.studenthandouts.com](Inc. www.studenthandouts.com)  \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________  \n________________________________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________________________  \nName:   Date:   Class:    \nWhat good man would prefer a country covered with forests and ranged by a few thousand savages to our extensive Republic, studded with cities, towns, and prosperous farms embellished with all the improvements which art can devise or industry execute, occupied by more than 12,000,000 happy people, and filled with all the blessings of liberty, civilization and religion?  \nThe present policy of the Government is but a continuation of the same progressive change by a milder process.
