John C. Calhoun argued that the removal of Native Americans from their ancestral lands was necessary for the expansion and development of the United States. He believed that the presence of Native tribes hindered economic progress and the growth of American civilization, viewing their removal as a means to promote agriculture and settlement. Calhoun also framed the issue in terms of racial superiority, asserting that white Americans were destined to dominate the continent. His perspective reflected a broader ethos of Manifest Destiny, which justified westward expansion at the expense of Indigenous peoples.
