As with anybody living in frontier Tennessee where Jackson lived, Indians were a serious

menace. They frequently killed the settlers and set fire to their homes, barns and crops

whenever they had the chance. Practically efvery family had loved ones that had been killed by Indians. The British and sometimes the Spanish would provide them with arms and reward

them for killing Americans. Consequently Jackson wanted to remove the Indian threat and

make life safe for family and friends. He did not hate them- he actually adopted an Indian

baby that was left homeless after a battle, but he could see no better way to end the conflict between the settlers and the Indians than the plan he pushed for - removing the Indians from GA,Alabama and TN and resettling them across the Mississippi River.

With most Native Americans, Jackson had good relations, but ridded the Seminoles of Florida because they were housing fugitive slaves.
