Explanation:

1. Elliot West's writing on Indian Removal takes a critical, historical tone that emphasizes the harm of the policy, drawing attention to the severe impacts of the government's actions.
2. Andrew Jackson's 1830 speech to Congress framed Indian Removal as beneficial, claiming it would protect Native Americans and benefit the U.S. nation.
3. Option C reflects Jackson's paternalistic, dismissive view of Native Americans, framing them as "savage hunters" to justify replacing them with white settlers, which is core to his pro-removal point of view.
