To remove Indians from the lands near which settlers lived or wanted to live.
By opening large amounts of land to whites and foreigners, they had to remove the Indians from the area. On the website linked below, it says: " Native Americans, however, did not fare so well. Before the land could be opened for settlement, it had to be cleared of the native population. Many American Indians were forcibly relocated to reservations to make way for the settlers."
Remove all Native Americans from the Virginia frontier
The government cheated the Indians out of their land through a variety of methods. These included broken treaties, forced removals such as the Trail of Tears, and fraudulent land deals. Additionally, the government often used military force to remove Native Americans from their ancestral lands and opened up the land for settlement by white settlers.
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.
There were several reasons why Andrew Jackson removed Native Americans from Georgia. One reason was the desire for more land for white settlers, as Jackson believed that Native Americans were obstacles to westward expansion. Additionally, Jackson held prejudiced views towards Native Americans and believed that they were culturally inferior. Finally, Jackson was influenced by the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the removal of Native Americans from their ancestral lands.
The Pueblo Revolt is important because it was one of the few times that Native Americans managed to fully remove whites (the Spanish) from their lands.
Because the state of Georgia needed to become a part of the union, the government had to remove the Indians from Georgia in order to make this possible. There were too many settlers moving to the United States, and Georgia had enough land to fit them. If the Indians stayed in Georgia, the settlers would have nowhere to go and it would have a severe impact on America's expansion. On the flipside though, it took away thousands of acres of land from the Indians and sparked a long dispute between the two groups of people.
