    Successful European colonization depended on displacing Native Americans from land and resources—the English uprooted indigenous inhabitants more thoroughly than any other empire. In the early decades of the American Republic, some indigenous groups agreed to resettlement farther West, but others resisted forced relocation and argued for American citizenship. This lecture explores the discourse and strategies that both sides employed in the period of Indian removal from both the land and the American imagination.
