Claudio Saunt has written the definitive history of this widely remembered but seldom understood central episode in American history. In his subtle and exceedingly well documented account, Saunt shows how planters eager for land, southern politicians consolidating their power, and New York bankers launched one of the largest mass deportations in U.S. history. They encountered resourceful Native Americans who deployed all means at their disposal to retain their land. This harrowing account of theft, dispossession, novel bureaucratic capacities, and unimaginable violence drew me in in ways that few history books do. Unworthy Republic will make you think in new ways about the history of the United States and will help you understand the roots of some of today's inequalities. It is one of the most important books published on U.S. history in recent years and should be required reading for all Americans., Saunt presents a stark and well-documented case that Native American expulsion was a political choice rather than an inevitable tragedy. This searing account forces a new reckoning with American history., A major achievement.... [Saunt] manages to do something truly rare: destroy the illusion that history's course is inevitable and recover the reality of the multiple possibilities that confronted contemporaries., Unworthy Republic is a study in power. It describes, in detail, the coming together of money, rhetoric, political ambition, and white-supremacist idealism. Saunt shows his readers the cost of a racial caste system in the United States., Claudio Saunt... offers a damning synthesis of the federal betrayals, mass deportations, and exterminatory violence that defined the 1830s.... Lining up his own calculations alongside recent studies of slavery, Saunt casts indigenous expulsion and the domestic slave trade as twinned trails of tears, economic successes rooted in profound moral failures., ""Unworthy Republic" is a powerful and lucid account, weaving together events with the people who experienced them up close....Saunt has written an unflinching book that reckons with this history and its legacy.", A bold, new, and urgently needed standard for the way we should understand the history of Indian Removal...Saunt demonstrates with searing insight and unparalleled narrative skill how the bureaucratic and blatantly militaristic 'expulsion' of 80,000 indigenous people profoundly reshaped the U.S. Republic and forever changed Native American lives., [Unworthy Republic] is a haunting story of racialized cruelty and greed, which came to define a pivotal period in U.S. and indigenous history alike. . . As Saunt persuasively observes, we have yet to reckon with them today., Unworthy Republic is a powerful and lucid account.... Saunt has written an unflinching book that reckons with this history and its legacy., Claudio Saunt sets a bold, new, and urgently needed standard for the way we should understand the history of Indian Removal.... Sweeping and astute., Unworthy Republic offers a much-needed corrective to the American canon, showing how a heavy-handed president, a deadlocked Congress, and a lust for profit combined to construct a shameful national legacy. This book is timely, provocative, heart-wrenching, and original--a riveting story that invites us all to reflect on how we got where we are today., There has been insufficient 'reckoning with the conquest of the continent,' Claudio Saunt relays in this excellent new book. In many accounts of U.S. history, the discussion of the mass deportation of native nations during the 1830s remains far too brief. Deportation's legacies in law, culture, and community continue to this day and find powerful exploration in this important addition to the field., [A] much-needed rendering of a disgraceful episode in American history that has been too long misunderstood., A much-needed rendering of a disgraceful episode in American history that has been too long misunderstood., [Unworthy Republic] is a major achievement...

Synopsis
In May 1830, the United States launched an unprecedented campaign to expel 80,000 Native Americans from their eastern homelands to territories west of the Mississippi River. In a firestorm of fraud and violence, thousands of Native Americans lost their lives, and thousands more lost their farms and possessions. The operation soon devolved into an unofficial policy of extermination, enabled by US officials, southern planters, and northern speculators. Hailed for its searing insight, Unworthy Republic transforms our understanding of this pivotal period in American history., A masterful and unsettling history of "Indian Removal," the forced migration of Native Americans across the Mississippi River in the 1830s and the state-sponsored theft of their lands., Winner of the 2021 Bancroft Prize and the 2021 Ridenhour Book Prize Finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for Nonfiction Named a Top Ten Best Book of 2020 by the Washington Post and Publishers Weekly and a New York Times Critics' Top Book of 2020 A masterful and unsettling history of "Indian Removal," the forced migration of Native Americans across the Mississippi River in the 1830s and the state-sponsored theft of their lands.
