From today's perspective, this event comes across as wholly wrong. It's described as evil and a genocide currently, but at the time, it must have been seen as a good thing, or at least the best option given the goals and constraints involved. But I cannot imagine how even the idea of a forced relocation over thousands of miles could be proposed favorably. I assume this is due to my inability to understand the situation as it was, which is why I ask for your help. How could the Indian Removal Act have been pitched as a good plan?
Add on question. Was it really needed to move them? all I see when driving in the us is free space.
