Jackson vigorously pursued the policy of removal that forced eastern Indian nations to move west of the Mississippi in the 1830s. Opponents of removal mocked Jackson's professed compassion for Native Americans by depicting him as a paternal figure comforting Indian "children."

He signed the Indian Removal Act, which resulted in the forced relocation of Native American tribes and the Trail of Tears, causing immense suffering and loss of life. Jackson's actions reflected a disregard for Native American rights and sovereignty.
