Reviews
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., 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., ""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., One of the most important books published on US history in recent years and should be required reading for all Americans., 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., Claudio Saunt sets a bold, new, and urgently needed standard for the way we should understand the history of 'Indian Removal.' He illuminates not only the struggles of numerous indigenous nations--along with the intertwined struggles of enslaved blacks--but also the corrupted morals of U.S. citizens and officials in both the North and South. Saunt demonstrates with insight and narrative skill how the bureaucratic and militaristic 'expulsion' of 80,000 indigenous people profoundly reshaped the Republic and forever changed Native American lives., "In Unworthy Republic, Claudio Saunt sets a bold, new, and urgently needed standard for the way we should understand the history of Indian Removal. ... [He] demonstrates with searing insight and unparalleled narrative skill how the lethally bureaucratic and blatantly militaristic "expulsion" of 80,000 indigenous people profoundly reshaped the US Republic and forever changed Native American lives.", 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., [Unworthy Republic] is 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., [A] much-needed rendering of a disgraceful episode in American history that has been too long misunderstood., One of the most important books published on U.S. history in recent years and should be required reading for all Americans., "There has been insufficient "reckoning with the conquest of the continent," Claudio Saunt relays in this excellent book. The mass deportation of Native nations during the 1830s still remains far too abbreviated in so many accounts of US history. Its legacies in law, culture, and community continue to this day and find powerful exploration in this important addition to the field."

Synopsis
Finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for Nonfiction Shortlisted for the 2020 Cundill History Prize Named a Best Book of 2020 by the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Atlantic, 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., Finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for Nonfiction and Shortlisted for the 2020 Cundill History PrizeA 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., On May 28, 1830, Congress authorized the expulsion of indigenous peoples from the East to territories west of the Mississippi River. 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. In 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, Unworthy Republic 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., In May 1830, the United States formally launched a policy to expel Native Americans from the East to territories west of the Mississippi River. Justified as a humanitarian enterprise, the undertaking was to be systematic and rational, overseen by Washington's small but growing bureaucracy. But as the policy unfolded over the next decade, thousands of Native Americans died under the federal government's auspices, and thousands of others lost their possessions and homelands in an orgy of fraud, intimidation, and violence. Unworthy Republic reveals how expulsion became national policy and describes the chaotic and deadly results of the operation to deport 80,000 men, women, and children. Drawing on firsthand accounts and the voluminous records produced by the federal government, Saunt's deeply researched book argues that Indian Removal, as advocates of the policy called it, was not an inevitable chapter in U.S. expansion across the continent. Rather, it was a fiercely contested political act designed to secure new lands for the expansion of slavery and to consolidate the power of the southern states. Indigenous peoples fought relentlessly against the policy, while many U.S. citizens insisted that it was a betrayal of the nation's values. When Congress passed the act by a razor-thin margin, it authorized one of the first state-sponsored mass deportations in the modern era, marking a turning point for native peoples and for the United States. In telling this gripping story, Saunt shows how the politics and economics of white supremacy lay at the heart of the expulsion of Native Americans, how corruption, greed, and administrative indifference and incompetence contributed to the debacle of its implementation, and how the consequences still resonate today., In May 1830, the United States formally launched a policy to expel Native Americans from the East to territories west of the Mississippi River.
