English term or phrase: which more than aught else
Hola.
Hay varias cosas de esta frase que me cuesta comprender, pero específicamente la frase mencionada arriba.
Parte del discurso del Presidente Chester Arthur en su mensaje al Congreso, en 1881:

"It was natural, at a time when the national territory seemed almost illimitable and contained
many millions of acres far outside the bounds of civilized settlements, that a policy should have
been initiated which more than aught else has been the fruitful source of our Indian complications."

¡Gracias por su ayuda!

Explanation:
Sería partidaria de una traducción libre. Esta sería la estructura:

"Era natural en un tiempo en que el territorio nacional parecía prácticamente ilimitado... que se iniciara una política que ha resultado ser la fuente principal de nuestros constantes problemas..."

agree  JaneTranslates: Beautiful reframing of the sentence. I would have stuck with "complicaciones" rather than "problemas," but perhaps your choice is more easily understood.
