The Legal Ideology of Removal - The Southern Judiciary and the Sovereignty of Native American Nations

Informationen zum Autor TIM ALAN GARRISON is an associate professor of history at Portland State University. Klappentext Because the federal government upheld Native American self-dominion! southerners bent on expropriating Indian land sought a legal toehold through state supreme court decisions. This book shows how state courts enabled the mass expulsion of Native Americans from their southern homelands in the 1830s. Zusammenfassung Jurisprudence on Indian matters in the antebellum South also complements the legal corpus on slavery. Readers will gain a broader perspective on the racial views of the southern legal elite, and on the logical inconsistencies of southern law and politics in the conceptual period of the anti-Indian and proslavery ideologies.
