Unworthy Republic: The Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Territory

Expulsion. Fans of well-written history for general readers will appreciate the book by Claudio Saunt titled, Unworthy Republic: The Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Territory. This University of Georgia teacher delivers a sober presentation of the expulsion of Native Americans from their homes and land. Saunt examines the rationale used to justify the displacement of people and documents the violence and cruelty as the policies were carried out. As contemporary readers, we discover some of the foundations of white supremacy in the United States, and the ways in which greed and incompetence can lead to disastrous results. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Unworthy Republic from amazon.com.
