While the Europeans were gaining more strength and land. In the eyes of most whites, they claimed that Cherokees' progress towards "civilization" was frustratingly slow. They were starting to turn their backs to the Indians and on the alternatives they gave. They realized that no matter how "civilized" they had become, they were almost always still looked down upon, abused, or referred to as savages. Those who lost confidence in the Cherokees' abilities to embrace "white men's civilization" leaned towards the act of removal. Thus emerged harsher white attitudes about Native Americans, increasing the public's opinion in favor for removal. Since the founding of the nation, it was generally agreed that no Native American lands could be acquired except by treaty. General Andrew Jackson, however, believed that no such land agreement were necessary and therefore the United States could take these lands by eminent domain.
