Best Answer

Jackson's primary method of expanding US territory, both as an Army general and as President, was forcing Native Americans off their land. His most significant act of this type was the Indian Removal Act, which led to the Trail of Tears, the forcible emigration of thousands of Native Americans from their homes in the south to land west of the Mississippi.
