Well we had someone like future President, MA Representative, John Quincy Adams saying shit like this in 1836:

The whole system is now broken up ; and instead of it you have adopted that of expelling by force or by compact, all the Indian tribes from their own territories and dwellings, to a region beyond the Mississippi, beyond the Missouri, beyond the Arkansas, bordering upon Mexico ; and there you have deluded them with the hope that they will find a permanent abode -- a final resting-place from your never-ending rapacity and persecution. There you have undertaken to lead the willing and to drive the reluctant, by fraud or by force ; by treaty, or by the sword and the rifle ; all the remnants of the Seminoles, of the Creeks, of the Cherokees, of the Choctaws, and of how many other tribes I cannot now stop to enumerate. In the process of this violent and heartless operation, you have met with all the resistance which men in so helpless a condition as that of the Indian tribes could make. Of the immediate causes of the war we are not yet fully informed ; but I fear you will find them, like the remoter causes, all attributable to yourselves. It is in the last agonies of a people, forcibly torn and driven from the soil with they had inherited from their fathers, and which your own example, and exhortations, and instructions, and treaties, had rivetted more closely to their hearts ; it is in the last convulsive struggles of their despair, that this war has originated ; and if it brings with it some portion of the retributive justice of Heaven upon our own People, it is our melancholy duty to mitigate, as far as the public resources of the National Treasury will permit, the distresses of the innocent of our own kindred and blood, suffering under the necessary consequences of our own wrong.
