Why did Thomas Jefferson eventually advocate for Indian Removal to lands west of the Mississippi?

A  Jefferson actually did not advocate for Indian Removal; he argued that Native Americans could remain on their homelands, separate from Euro-American settlements, and become “civilized” at their “own pace.”

B  After much resistance to “Civilization” attempts, Jefferson consulted with tribes, and they all decided that moving away from settlers would be ideal as it would ultimately resolve conflicts between the groups and would allow for tribes to live freely and maintain traditions.

C  After tribes resisted to Native American “Civilization” attempts, Jefferson decided the only solution would be to physically remove Native Americans from lands in the southeast, away from the “harm” of settlers and to free up lands for settlers, and so that Native Americans could become “civilized’ at their “own pace.”

D  Jefferson actually did not advocate for Indian Removal; he believed that Native Americans were equal to Euro-Americans, and the two groups could co-exist if Native Americans could assimilate into dominant society.
