The result was a white Republic, purposefully constructed through contentious legal, political, and diplomatic negotiation. But, as Samantha Seeley demonstrates, removal, like the right to remain, was a battle fought on multiple fronts. It encompassed tribal leaders' fierce determination to expel white settlers from Native lands and free African Americans' legal maneuvers both to remain within the states that sought to drive them out and to carve out new lives in the West. Never losing sight of the national implications of regional conflicts, Seeley brings us directly to the battlefield, to middle states poised between the edges of slavery and freedom where removal was both warmly embraced and hotly contested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReorienting the history of U.S. expansion around Native American and African American histories, Seeley provides a much-needed reconsideration of early nation building. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samantha Seeley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469674327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469674322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omohundro Institute and Unc Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.75w x 0.55d","brand":"Samantha Seeley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072668823807,"sku":"9781469674322","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c3993df-2daa-4271-bd9c-fd8500fa389c.jpg?v=1685443313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-removal-and-the-right-samantha-seeley-9781469674322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
