Document A: Andrew Jackson (Modified)
It gives me great pleasure to announce to Congress that the Government’s benevolent policy of
Indian removal has almost been achieved.
We have wept over the fate of the natives of this country, as one by one many tribes have
disappeared from the earth. However, we must accept this the way we accept when an older
generation dies and makes room for the younger.
We would not want to see this continent restored to the condition in which our forefathers found it.
What good man would prefer a country covered with forests and occupied by a few thousand
savages to our great Republic, studded with cities, towns, and prosperous farms, decorated with
art and industry, occupied by more than 12,000,000 happy people, and filled with all the blessings
of liberty, civilization, and religion?
The United States will pay to send the natives to a land where they may live longer and possibly
survive as a people.
Can it be cruel when this Government offers to purchase the Indian’s land, give him new and
extensive territory, pay the expense of his removal, and support him for the first year in his new
home? How many thousands of our own people would gladly embrace the opportunity of moving
West under such conditions!
The policy of the Government towards the red man is generous. The Indian is unwilling to follow
the laws of the States and mingle with the population. To save him from utter annihilation, the
Government kindly offers him a new home, and proposes to pay the whole expense of his
removal and settlement.

Look at our people! They are wretched! Look, my dear sir, around you, and see the
progress that vice and immorality have already made! See the misery!
If the darker picture which I have described here is a true one, can we see a brighter
possibility ahead? In another country, and under other circumstances, there is a
better prospect. Removal, then, is the only remedy, the only practical remedy. Our
people may finally rise from their very ashes, to become prosperous and happy, and
a credit to our race. I would say to my countrymen, fly from your life here that is
destroying our nation.
What is your (John Ross) plan of relief? It is dark and gloomy beyond description.
You want the Cherokee to live according the laws of Georgia, no matter how unfair
they are? Instead of fix the evil, you would tie our people down in the chains of
slavery. The final destiny of our race, under such circumstances is too revolting to
think of. Take my word, it is the sure end of our race if you succeed in preventing
the removal of your people. There will come a time when there will be few of us left
as reminders of this brave and noble race. May God protect us from such a destiny.

Jackson Warns the Seminoles
One of Andrew Jackson’s goals as President was to move all Native Americans west of the Mississippi River. Jackson was willing to go to great lengths to accomplish this
goal. He wrote this letter to the Seminole Indians, advising them to move west voluntarily. In it, Jackson gave a hint of the measures he was prepared to use if the
Seminoles refused to leave. The Seminoles did refuse to go. The bloody seven-year-long Seminole War that followed showed that the President meant business.

I am sorry to have heard that you have been listening to bad counsel. You know me. You know
that I would not deceive nor advise you to do anything that was unjust or harmful. Open your ears and
attend to what I shall now say to you. They are the words of a friend and the words of truth.
The white people are settling around you. The game has disappeared from your country. Your
people are poor and hungry. All this you have known for some time. I tell you that you must go and
that you will go. Even if you had a right to stay, how could you live where you now are? You have sold
all your country. You have not a piece as large as a blanket to sit down upon. What is to support
yourselves, your women, and children?
The tract you have given up will soon be surveyed and sold. Immediately afterwards, it will be
occupied by a white population. You will soon be in a state of starvation. You will be forced to rob and
plunder the property of our citizens. You will be resisted, punished, perhaps killed.
Now is it not better peaceably to move to a fine, fertile country, occupied by your own kindred,
where you can raise all the necessities of life, and where game is yet abundant? The annuities payable
to you and the other arrangements made in your favor will make your situation comfortable. They will
enable you to increase and improve.
Paragraph
#5
If, therefore, you had a right to stay where you now are, still every true friend would advise you
to move. But you have no right to stay, and you must go. I am very desirous that you should go
peaceably and voluntarily. You shall be comfortably taken care of and kindly treated on the road.
When you arrive in your new country, supplies will be issued to you for a year so that you can have
ample time to provide for your future support.
Paragraph
#6
But in case some of your rash young men should forcibly oppose your arrangements for
removal, I have ordered a large military force to be sent among you. I have directed that one-third of
your people, as provided for in the treaty, be removed during the present season. If you listen to the
voice of friendship and truth, you will go quietly and voluntarily. But should you listen to the bad birds
that are always flying about you and refuse to move, I have then directed the commanding officer to
remove you by force. This will be done. I pray the Great Spirit, therefore, to incline you to do what is
right.
Your friend,
