The new president, Mirabeau B. Lamar, differed significantly from Sam Houston in his policy toward Native Americans. While Houston favored negotiation and coexistence, Lamar adopted a more aggressive approach, advocating for the removal of Native Americans from Texas lands. He believed in expansion and viewed Native Americans as obstacles to progress, leading to military campaigns against them and policies that sought to drive them out of the region entirely. This marked a stark shift in the treatment and perception of Native American tribes during their respective administrations.
