Report on Colonization and Emigration

This report, written by the United States Emigration Office in the mid-19th century, details the government's plan to relocate individuals from overpopulated areas in the United States to new settlements in the West. The report provides a thorough analysis of the social, economic, and political factors behind the push for westward expansion, as well as the practicalities of implementing such a plan. Although the report has been criticized for its disregard for the rights of Native Americans and its endorsement of slavery, it remains a valuable historical document.
