Unworthy Republic: The Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Territory by Claudio Saunt
5.0
Dr. Saunt does it again with this book!
The book discusses the methods through both political and cultural lenses the ways in which the dispossession of Native Americans in the Early and Antebellum Republic made headway and led not only to the infamous trail of tears for the Cherokee Nation, but also discusses other tribes. Dr. Saunt packs this book with a plethora of sources that adds a level of credence to his work, and as usual, his writing is not dry, but seems to come alive with every chapter.
