The first and last answer opyions are those that support the claim that whites have an incorrect perception of the humanity of the Cherokee people.

These options are:

  • "It needs not the power of argument on the nature of man, to silence forever the remark that 'it is the purpose of the Almighty that the Indians should be exterminated.'"
  • "But such impressions, originating as they frequently do, from infant prejudices, do great injustices to many of this race of beings."

Boudinot was aware of the strong prejudices of white people towards Native Americans. These prejudices came from an incorrect perception that Europeans had of the natives, which caused many negative events and sorrow for the native tribes.

However, Boudinot claimed that these prejudices were childish, meaningless, that they usurped religious concepts and were guided by greed to provoke persecution and extermination.
