Emerson strongly represents that he, as well as other citizens of the American nation, feel that the American government is committing a serious evil in proceeding with the removal of the Cherokee. He stresses the efforts of the aboriginal population by stating that “Even in our distant state, some good rumor of their worth and civility has arrived, We have learned with joy their improvement in social arts. We have read their newspapers. We have seen some of them in our schools and colleges. In common with the great body of the American people we have witnessed with sympathy the painful labors of these red men to redeem their own race from the doom of eternal inferiority, and to borrow and domesticate in the tribe, the arts and customs of the caucasian race.” (Emerson, 1269).” In the conclusion of the letter, Emerson questions the morality of a government that could put “so vast an outrage upon the Cherokee nation, and upon human nature (Emerson, 1271).”〔 ==Historical context== With Andrew Jackson's signing of the Indian Removal Act in May 1830, the Cherokee Nation first embarked on a battle with the United States government and European settlers in a fight for the right to their hunting grounds and areas of residence which spanned across the southeastern United States, primarily Georgia. As matters intensified, a small group of Cherokees began to think it may be best to submit to a treaty before things intensified and led to violence. Therefore, in December 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed, giving Cherokees two years to prepare for the removal. Emerson expresses the “eastern distaste for President Jackson's removal policies,” by reiterating to Martin Van Buren,“The newspapers now inform us, that, in December 1835, a treaty contracting for the exchange of all the Cherokee territory, was pretended to be made by an agent on the part of the United States with some persons appearing on the part of the Cherokees; that the fact afterwards transpired that these deputies did by no means represent the will of the nation, and that out of eighteen thousand souls composing the (Cherokee) nation, fifteen thousand six hundred and sixty eight have protested against the so called Treaty. It now appears that the Government of the United States choose to hold the Cherokees to this sham treaty, and are proceeding to execute the same (Emerson, 1269).”〔 Along with others, Emerson is able to see through the government's efforts to play down their act of cruelty with attempts to make it seem as if they are going about the “civilized” route in obtaining a treaty, for it is immediately apparent that the Treaty does not represent the true feelings of the Cherokee people. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emerson's letter to Martin Van Buren」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
