Indian Removal Act text: read and find the tone of the text

The results of a speedy removal of the Indians will be important to the United States. It will be important to individual States, and to the Indians themselves. The financial advantages which it promises to the Government are among only some of the good reasons to do this. It will end all possible danger of conflict between the authorities of the Federal and State governments on account of the Indians. It will place a large and civilized population in large tracts of country now occupied by a few uncivilized hunters. It will open the whole territory between Tennessee on the north and Louisiana on the south to the settlement of the white men. This will greatly strengthen the southwestern frontier. It will also render the bordering States strong enough to fight off future invasions without outside help. It will save the whole State of Mississippi and the western part of Alabama from Indian occupancy. This action will enable those States to advance rapidly in population, wealth, and power. It will separate the Indians from immediate contact with settlements of whites and free them from the power of the States. They will be able to pursue happiness in their own way and under their own rude institutions. It will slow the progress of decay, which is lessening their numbers. Perhaps it will cause them gradually, under the protection of the Government and through the influence of good advice, to cast off their uncivilized habits and become an interesting, civilized, and Christian community.

What good man would prefer a country covered with forests and populated by a few thousand Indians to our extensive Republic? Who would not prefer a land covered with cities, towns, and successful farms? They have been enhanced with all the improvements which art can devise or industry can execute. Who would not prefer a land occupied by more than 12,000,000 happy people? This land will be filled with all the blessings of liberty, civilization and religion.
