Question

Removal":

It gives me pleasure to announce to Congress that the
benevolent policy of the Government, steadily pursued for
nearly thirty years, in relation to the removal of the Indians
beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy
consummation. Two important tribes have accepted the
provision made for their removal at the last session of
Congress, and it is believed that their example will induce
the remaining tribes also to seek the same obvious
advantages.
What tone does this passage most convey?

B.
Disappointed

Hi,

The tone of this passage can be described as optimistic or positive. The speaker is announcing that the government's policy of removing the Indians from white settlements is nearing completion and that two important tribes have already accepted the provision for their removal. The speaker believes that the example set by these tribes will encourage the remaining tribes to seek the same advantages. This suggests a hopeful and positive outlook on the progress being made in the removal of the Indians.

I hope that this helped you. :)
