During The Indian Removal Debate:
"We have done so much to destroy the Indians and so little to save them. Before another step is taken there should be the most through deliberation on the part of all constituted authorities, lest we act in such a manner as to expose ourselves to the judgments of Heaven." --Jeremiah Evarts, 1829
"The evil is enormous; the inevitable suffering incalculable. Nations of dependent Indians, against their will, under color of law, are driven from their homes into the wilderness." --Edward Everett
