The Jacksonian period has long been recognized as a watershed era in American Indian policy. Ronald N. Satz's American Indian Policy in the Jacksonian Era uses the perspectives of both ethnohistory and public administration to analyze the formulation, execution, and results of government policies of the 1830s and 1840s. In doing so, he examines the differences between the rhetoric and the realities of those policies and furnishes a much-needed corrective to many simplistic stereo-types about Jacksonian Indian policy. After opening with a critical examination of the interplay of constitutional issues, personal ambitions, and partisan politics that led to the passage of the Removal Act of 1830, the author turns to a detailed consideration of the actual experiences of the Choctaws, the first major Indian group to emigrate west under the act. Based on intensive research into primary sources for the period, Professor Satz's study shows many of the old stereotypes concerning Jacksonian Indian policy (among others, those of Jackson's alleged hatred of Indians and his defiance of the Supreme Court in the case of Worcester v. Georgia) to be simplistic. He provides a much needed corrective.
