The larger goal was uniting Americans around the war effort.
Cracking down on dissent would be a negative action in support of the larger, positive goal the government sought. The government wanted a fully united public in support of the war, and so it put out the message that that freedom of speech might have its limits in times of war.
I support Andrew Jackson's claim which states that the Indian Removal was done in the best interests of American Indians.
The indian removal of the United States to Individual States brough several benefits, such as:
- It put an end to a possible <u>danger of collision.</u>
- It <u>allowed states to grow</u> rapidly in wealth, power and population, which reinforced the southwestern border.
In addition, the indian removal to the native americans contributed to:
- <u>Release the Indians</u> of the power of the state.
- Enabled them to <u>maintain their way of life</u> (culture, traditions, language, etc).
As Jackson quoted himself "The removal was necessary because the <u>Native Americans would be annihilated</u>".
