William Henry Harrison: Land Act
built 628 days ago
Except for his role in acquiring their land, Harrison did everything in his power for the welfare of the Indians. He saw that they were fairly dealt with, that the supply of alcohol was restricted, that outrages against them were punished, and that agreements with them were respected. In all these things he differed from the usual American custom. He was convinced... that the advance of settlement was natural and irresistible, though it should be carried out humanely. Treaties were concluded, sometimes several in one year, extinguishing Indian title to lands further and further northward, beyond the rich forest areas into the sterile (for the Indians) prairies west of the Wabash.

Harrison's speech is actually one of the best ever delivered, for it provides an important analysis over how the federal government is supposed to work, and especially on the relationship between the executive and legislative branches. And don't let the length scare you. In the 19th century, public orations were expected to last over an hour.
