[The American Indian] is unwilling to submit to the laws of the
States and mingle with their population. To save him from this
alternative, or perhaps utter annihilation, the General Government
kindly offers him a new home, and proposes to pay the whole
expense of his removal and settlement.
Which sentence most accurately describes the effects of Jackson's diction in this
passage?
OA. The idea that the government is being nice to American Indians by
forcing them to move is both ironic and sickening in its smugness.
OB. Jackson's use of the word "kindly" suggests that he feels the American
Indians should feel grateful for his offer.
C. By referring to American Indians as "savages," Jackson suggests that his
audience need not think of American Indians as people like them.
OD. Andrew Jackson knows that removing American Indians is wrong, which
is why he feels the need to justify his actions in this speech.
