He thought that they took up to much space and there to expensive like there wars so why should we have them also he thought they were stupid and he should take there land

Actually, Thomas Jefferson was forced to choose between doing what was the right thing to do and what was the best thing to do. He harbored no ill feelings toward the Native Americans, but he also realized that it was in America's best interest to expand.

Thomas Jefferson had a mainly positive few of Native Americans for the time and believed them to be intelligent people. He possessed a certain intellectual curiosity about them and showed no signs of hatred. Jefferson, like the people of his time, called them Indians.
