    UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-EAU CLAIRE IN THE NAME OF CIVILIZATION: JACKSON, FORSYTH AND THE INDIAN REMOVAL ACT OF 1830 DAVE NEWBURG SENIOR THESIS HISTORY 489: RESEARCH SEMINAR PROFESSOR KATE LANG DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NOVEMBER 10, 2006 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire with the consent of the author. ABSTRACT The intent of this paper is to discuss Andrew Jackson‟s controversial actions and policies affecting Native Americans, most notably the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This act required all Native American tribes east of the Mississippi river to move west into designated frontier territories. The native migration would allow the white Americans to possess new farmlands to increase the union‟s crop output. White settlers supported the act unanimously due to the promise of state improvement, but many natives would claim that the act was either a great shame or a declaration of war. This paper will examine Jackson‟s rise to the presidency and how Jackson‟s stance on the Native American issue increased his popularity amongst southern whites. This paper will also examine the correspondence of Fort Armstrong Indian Agent, Thomas Forsyth. The content of these letters help to provide a rationale for the Jackson‟s course of action. Although it is unknown if Jackson ever met Forsyth, the information contained in Forsyth‟s correspondence reflect contemporary concern with the “Indian problem.” Confrontations from forcibly removed tribes and conflicts such as the Black Hawk War and the Second Seminole War will be addressed as well.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • The United States' Indian Allies in the Black
    FRIENDS LIKE THESE: THE UNITED STATES’ INDIAN ALLIES IN THE BLACK HAWK WAR, 1832 by John William Hall A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2007 Advisor: R. Don Higginbotham Reader: Joseph T. Glatthaar Reader: Michael D. Green Reader: Richard H. Kohn Reader: Theda Perdue © 2007 John William Hall ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JOHN W. HALL: Friends Like These: The United States’ Indian Allies in the Black Hawk War, 1832 (Under the direction of R. Don Higginbotham.) “Friends Like These” examines the decision by elements of the Menominee, Dakota, Potawatomi, and Ho Chunk tribes to ally with the United States government during the Black Hawk War of 1832. Because this conflict is usually depicted as a land- grab by ravenous settlers and the war occurred within two years of the passage of the Indian Removal Act, the military participation of these tribes seems incongruous. This work seeks to determine why various bands of these tribes cooperated with the U.S. Army when such alliance seemed inimical to the interests of their respective tribes. Moreover, it explores the extent to which the Americans conceived of themselves as allies to the Indians while assessing the consequences of this alliance for each of the tribes involved. This study finds that the Indians participated in the Black Hawk War to fulfill their own wartime objectives, and that in so doing they sought to apply familiar forms to the new situation that unfolded in the years after the War of 1812.
