Speech of Mr. Foster, of Georgia: On the Bill to Provide for the Removal of the Indians, West of the Mississippi is a historical book written by Thomas Flournoy Foster in 1830. The book is a transcript of a speech given by Foster, a member of the United States House of Representatives from Georgia, on the controversial Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Indian Removal Act was a federal law that authorized the forced relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. Foster's speech supports the act and argues that it is necessary for the expansion of white settlement in the region. He justifies the removal of the Native Americans by portraying them as savages who are incapable of living alongside white settlers in a civilized society.The book provides a unique insight into the political and social climate of the United States in the early 19th century. It sheds light on the attitudes and beliefs of many white Americans towards Native Americans during this time period. The book is an important historical document that provides valuable information on the Indian Removal Act and its impact on Native American communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
