杰克逊政府的印第安人迁移政策分析-analysis of jacksons indian migration policy.docxVIP

第三章重点分析了迁移政策得以实施的原因。白人对印第安人土地的要求、开化印第安人、实现种族隔离和避免印白纠纷是杰克逊政府实施印第安人迁移政策的动因，美国实力的增长和印第安人力量的衰弱是迁移政策得以实施的条件，杰克逊总统对于迁移政策的大力支持乃是迁移政策得以实施的推动性因素。第四章讲述了印第安人和美国民众对于迁移政策的反应。针对杰克逊政府的迁移政策，一些印第安人部落采取了顺从态度，也有部落进行了反抗，但其反抗斗争均以失败而告终；尽管迁移政策招致了美国社会各界的批评与谴责，但是在西进运动的狂潮中，与迁移的支持力量相比，反对力量要微弱的多。第五章分析了印第安人迁移政策的影响、演变，并对其进行了简要评价。关键词：安德鲁·杰克逊，美国印第安人，迁移政策IIAbstractIndianshaveaspecialpositioninthedevelopmentofAmericanhistory,andhow todealwiththemhasalwaysbeenafairlydifficultproblemfortheUSgovernment.
