For centuries people have argued and questioned was the U.S (whether the U.S. was) justified in its treatment of the American Indians. From the information and the documents, I have read and informed I believe this statement is false.
There were men and women such as John Ross, and Jane Gay who wanted to improve the Indians lifestyle and housing. Also, an Indian named Tecumseh that wanted people to fight against the Americans and believe they were not treating them well. John G. Burnett wrote in his journal describing the life of the Cherokees and of how they were driven out of their homes, “I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades [fenced-in enclosures]. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning, I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west . . .” This part of his journal describes the troubles of how the Indians had to keep moving from territory to territory because of how the Americans kept taking their land.

They didn’t think of the diseases or injuries that the Indians might have, they just rounded them
