Andrew Jackson was president at the time, and he said that if the Cherokees wished to give up their tribal ways, and basically assimilate and live as whiles did he would not want to relocate them. Other tribes had more or less made this transition, such as the Tuscarora and the Catawbas, and they were not removed. Jackson felt that so long as the Cherokees wished to maintain their status as a separate nation, increasingly in contact with and even partially surrounded by white settlement, that there could never be permanent peace. Jackson grew up in North Carolina and moved to Tennessee as a young man, and never forgot that the Cherokees were on the wrong side in the Revolution and in the French and Indian War before that. Much is made of the fact that the Cherokee chief Junaluska saved Jackson's life at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend during the Creek Indian War, when the Cherokees were fighting as allies of the US Army. But the Cherokees involved themselves in that war because the Creeks were their ancient enemy, not because they wanted to help the whites. And whatever else may be said of Jackson's policy of Indian Removal, it did in fact bring an end to Indian warfare in the southeastern US, after more than 200 years.
