Indian Removal Policy

What does Jackson say the advantages of Indian Removal will be for the federal and state governments? It would significantly mitigate the rivalry between the central and state governments. Also, Indian Removal would facilitate the white settlers to inhabit the vast parts of the South and the West, aiming to protect from foreign invasion.

What does Jackson say the advantages of Indian Removal will be for the Indians? The Indian Removal will separate the Indians from close interaction with whites’ settlement, and this will liberate them from the power of the state. Also, it will enable them to pursue happiness in their way and under their rude institution.

According to Jackson, why did the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes agree to move? They have preferred maintaining their independence in the Western forests to adhering to the state laws in which they now reside. The white settlers and Native Americans couldn’t coexist. What did the tribes receive in exchange for the treaty? They give the Indians a fair change in consideration of their Removal.

What has been the result of Philanthropy with the Indians? It had been vastly applied in devising means to avert it, but its progress has never for a moment arrested, and one by one have many powerful tribes disappeared from the earth. What does Jackson mean by philanthropy? We behold the memorials of once a powerful race, exterminated or rather disappeared to create room for the existing savage tribes.

How does Jackson say his policy is a continuation of previous policies? Population and civilization waves are rolling towards the westwards, and they now propose to acquire the occupied countries by the South and West red men by a fair exchange. How is it different? To send them to a land where their existence may be prolonged and perhaps made perpetual.

How does Jackson justify moving Indian groups from their native lands? Their founding fathers left all that was dear in earthly objects to enhance their condition in less familiar ground.

What is the government offering Indians who move from their lands? Buying the land, they occupy. Also, pay the cost incurred during the removal process, not mention uttering annihilation.

What does Jackson say was the agreement between new states and the federal government concerning Indian territories? A duty to extinguish the Indian title to all land which Congress themselves have included within their limit, as soon as possible.

Why can’t the Indians stay on their land? The buying of their land s does not alter in the least their relationship with the state government. What is the relationship between state and federal governments? Both governments regulate citizens, and they operate under the principle of federalism. Why don’t states have control or jurisdiction over Indian lands? No act of the general government has ever been deemed essential to give the state jurisdiction over the Indians’ persons.
