This is a Brand New book in excellent condition. Format: Paperback Author: Ronald N. Satz ISBN10: 0806134321 ISBN13: 9780806134321 Overview of the early 19th century federal Indian policy focusing on conditions that produced the removal of the Five Civilized Tribes from southeastern United States. Discusses the legacy of those policies in the past 170 years.

The Jacksonian period has long been recognized as a watershed era in American Indian policy. Ronald N. Satz’s American Indian Policy in the Jacksonian Era uses the perspectives of both ethnohistory and public administration to analyze the formulation, execution, and results of government policies of the 1830s and 1840s. In doing so, he examines the differences between the rhetoric and the realities of those policies and furnishes a much-needed corrective to many simplistic stereo-types about Jacksonian Indian policy.
