The correct answer is:

B. Removing American Indians will allow white settlers to become wealthier.

Step-by-step explanation:

He declared that they were still barbarians and that trying to understand them has been a failure because the government often slaughtered its own policies or they failed. This is why it was acceptable to exclude them from their territories since they were still savages according to him, and the rest of what resembled to the Native Americans is history.
