Read the following paraphrase of a speech by Andrew Jackson in 1830:

Can it be that the savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian? Is it worse for him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to our brothers and children? The policy of the General Government toward the red man is not only liberal, but generous. He will not submit to the laws of the States and mingle with us. To save him from annihilation, the General Government kindly offers him a new home.

Which action by the U.S. government did this speech justify?
