7 0

The U.S. Government used treaties as one means to displace Indians from their tribal lands, a mechanism that was strengthened with the Removal Act of 1830. In cases where this failed, the government sometimes violated both treaties and Supreme Court rulings to facilitate the spread of European Americans westward across the continent.As the 19th century began, land-hungry Americans poured into the backcountry of the coastal South and began moving toward and into what would later become the states of Alabama and Mississippi. Since Indian tribes living there appeared to be the main obstacle to westward expansion, white settlers petitioned the federal government to remove them. Although Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe argued that the Indian tribes in the Southeast should exchange their land for lands west of the Mississippi River, they did not take steps to make this happen. Indeed, the first major transfer of land occurred only as the result of war.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer is "Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves."

Explanation:

The declaration of independence stated that government should be elected by representatives in order to secure the fundamental rights of people to "life liberty and pursuit of happiness." This is possible on the basis of a social contract, where people agree to live together in a society, based on mutual respect of the principles enunciated in the declaration of independence. Since the government is the main guarantor of this social contract, people are willing to suffer rather than lose the form of government that protects their individual rights.
