"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).
