Over the next decade, Native Americans saw their homelands and possessions stolen through fraud, intimidation, and murder. Thousands lost their lives. In this powerful, gripping book, Claudio Saunt upends the common view that \"Indian Removal\" was an inevitable chapter in US expansion across the continent. Instead, Saunt argues that it was a contested political act—resisted by both indigenous peoples and US citizens—that passed in Congress by a razor-thin margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn telling the full story of this systematic, state-sponsored theft, Saunt reveals how expulsion became national policy, abetted by southern slave owners and financed by Wall Street. Moving beyond the familiar story of the Trail of Tears, \u003cem\u003eUnworthy Republic\u003c\/em\u003e offers a fast-paced yet deeply researched account of unbridled greed, government indifference, and administrative incompetence. The consequences of this vast transfer of land and wealth still resonate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471873884396,"sku":"9780393609844","price":95.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/222e49aee774b38b4ae58df5ebd8a7dc.jpg?v=1775693053"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/claudio-saunt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
