Explanation:

Removing the Native Americans from their own lands was a terrible thing to do. Many Native Americans who left their ancestral lands were died while going to the reservations. Up to this day,many of the descendants still fight with what they have lost many years ago.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.
