Are you under the impression that early 19th cent America was concerned about the wants, needs, desires or civil rights of Native Americans? At all? (The BIA was set up to manage them like a natural resource and put under the authority of the Dept of Interior.) Or that Jefferson's political enemies (proto-Teabaggers) were fully supportive of the Louisiana Purchase and the Louis & Clark Expedition afterward? The same sediments expressed in my original post were used against Jefferson then - it cost to much, the environment is hazardous & there's nothing there anyway. Sound familiar?
