According to Document N, "... [I am] deeply impressed with the opinion that the removal of the Indian tribes from the lands which they now occupy . . . is of very high importance to our union, and may be accomplished on conditions and in a manner to promote the interest and happiness of those tribes . . . For the removal of the tribes within the limits of the State of Georgia, the motive has been peculiarly strong, arising from the compact with that State, whereby the United States are bound to extinguish the Indian title to the lands within it, whenever it may be done peaceably and on reasonable conditions." Again, the United States is expanding upon Cherokee land, which Monroe believes that will benefit the Indians and benefit the Americans. The statement is a contradiction because Monroe as well as the president's before him, believe that they are helping the Indians, but are actually oppressing the Indians

According to Document F, "The Indian tribes . . . have for a considerable time been growing more and more uneasy at the constant diminution of the territory they occupy, although affected by their own voluntary sales, and the policy has long been gaining strength with them of refusing absolutely all further sale on any conditions . . . In order peaceable to counteract this policy of theirs and to provide an extension of territory which the rapid increase of our numbers will call for [they should be led to an agricultural way of life, thus lessening their need for land], In leading them thus to . . . civilization . . . I trust and believe we are acting for their greatest good." Thomas Jefferson believed that some people were dependent (slaves, women, Indians) and some people were independent (White males), he believed that the independent of society should help the dependents to become independent. Jefferson was attempting to be benevolent toward the Indians, but Jefferson was only trying to acquire the land for the United States. Precedent was reinforced in the United States not respecting rights of sovereignty of the Cherokee Indians.
