Excerpt from Robert J Walker, Imperialist But the greatest subject of exploitationwas the Indian, who still owned vast areas of lands in the West. From Illinois to Lou isiana the hardy pioneers, whose characters we are so prone to idealize to-day, were ruthlessly despoiling, without pretense of legal right, the helpless natives. The very basis of Jackson's power was his free license to the westerners to work their wills upon these wards of the nation. Nowhere was this spirit more rampant than in Mississippi, where some fifteen thousand square miles of land was still in the hands of the Indians and hotly coveted by cotton planters and small farmers alike. In February, 1831, the treaty of Dancing Rabbit gave the Missis sippians conditional possession of all this land. Public land sales were announced in 1833 only a short forty days before the auctioneer was to begin his work. The Indians, who were still trying to save them selves by showing the illegality of the treaty, were in the greatest distress; and the army of squatters already on the public domain were hardly less disturbed by this sudden turn of things. Only the land agents and their friends who had prepared this stroke were happy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
