American Indian Policy in the Jacksonian Era

By Ronald N. Satz

Book Overview

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 stereotypes about Jacksonian Indian policy.
