    “Benevolent Plans Meritoriously Applied:” How Missouri Almost Became an Indian Nation, 1803–1811 BY B. J. MCMAHON Maps such as these were published in the early nineteenth century to plot the general locations of Native American tribes.

The Jeffersonian approach to Indian-white relations ostensibly planned for assimilation after the Natives voluntarily relocated to the west. Jefferson and his disciples had differing opinions about the Natives but believed they had the same rights to life, liberty, and property as the whites, and that they expected the United States to uphold honorably all treaties and obligations between them. While not the only advocate of the policy named in his honor, he was the first executive given the power and authority by Congress to treat Native Americans as he saw fit.2 The president envisioned much of the area west of the Mississippi as a land where the Indians could live completely separated from white society east of the river.

  • The Santa Fe Trail
    THE SANTA FE TRAIL. Prior to 1818 all of the explorers, traders and many trappers made St. Louis the place from which to outfit and start. Most of the early traders were of Spanish or French descent. James Mackey, a Scotchman, was in St. Louis between 1790 and 1800. About 1797 he traded some west of the moush of the Kaw river. He afterwards marked off the streets of early St. Louis, and his son, Zeno Mackey, laid off Carondelet and part of St. Louis. Manuel Lisa, a native of Cuba, and of Spanish descent, was one of the early traders, and active in establishing posts on the Missouri. He established a trading post on the Yellow­ stone in 1807 near where is now the town of Custer. In 1806 Capt. Pike passed Lisa's trading post on the Osage near where the present town of Papinville now stands. Pierre Chouteau was also one of the chief of the early fur traders. He, with Lisa, Clark and others, formed the Missouri Fur Co., and the American Fur Co. The object of these early traders was to secure furs, and in those days the fur trade was extensive. Buffalo, bear, deer, and beaver were numerous and their furs valuable. After 1810 other traders went west and southwest to New Mexico. Merchandise was taken to Santa Fe, and there sold for good prices, and for thirty-five years there was an exten­ sive trade to Santa Fe. In 1804 William Morrison of Kaskaskia sent Baptiste La Lande,'a Creole, with a lot of goods to sell.
