Publisher's Synopsis
The Removal of the Indians, and an Exhibition of the Advancement of the Southern Tribes in Civilization and Christianity is a book written by Jeremiah Evarts in 1830. The book provides a detailed account of the forced removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southern United States, particularly the Cherokee Nation, and their subsequent relocation to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) on the Trail of Tears.Evarts, a prominent American missionary and lawyer, also highlights the progress made by some southern tribes in adopting western-style civilization and Christianity. He argues that the relocation of Native Americans to Indian Territory would provide them with a better opportunity to embrace western civilization and Christianity, and ultimately improve their quality of life.The book is considered a primary source for understanding the policies and attitudes of the United States government towards Native Americans during the 19th century. It provides insight into the debates surrounding Indian removal and the assimilation of Native Americans into American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
