Abstract:
A study of a painting of Benjamin Hawkins and the Creek Indians explored its relationship to Thomas Jefferson’s policy for the assimilation process during the first decade of the nineteenth century. Hawkins, a former North Carolina senator, was appointed to implement and oversee the civilization plan.
