"Contrast the condition into which all these friendly Indians are
suddenly plunged now, with their condition only two years previous: martial
law now
in force on all their reservations; themselves
in
danger of starvation,
and constantly exposed to the influence of emissaries from their friends
and
relations, urging them to join in fighting this treacherous government that
had kept faith
with nobody--neither with friend nor with foe" (Jackson 178).
