The piece of evidence that best supports the interpretation that little trust can be placed in treaties and agreements that limit the spread of colonization, and that conflicts will continue with each new generation, is:"And finally unto the backwoods leads, Where forests wait with giant trunk and bough The axe of pioneer, the settler's plough."This line symbolizes the relentless advance of colonization into untouched lands ("backwoods") and the inevitable transformation of these lands by settlers ("the axe of pioneer, the settler's plough"). It implies that despite any treaties or agreements, the push for expansion and colonization will continue, leading to ongoing conflicts.
