註釋The object of the Indian Board was "the colonization and preservation of our Indians." The Board supported President Jackson's decision to remove the Cherokees from Georgia. This document includes the Board's Constitution, its founding membership, and documentation demonstrating the wisdom of the Jacksonian policy: the President's Letter of March 23, 1829 to the Cherokees, and other official communications with them. Thomas McKenney's Address, in support of removal on policy and legal grounds, is printed in full. McKenney identifies two intractable problems facing the Nation: "One of these relates to the black population in our bosom; the other to the red population, on our back."
