Best Answer

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."

Andrew Jackson is not widely regarded as the "great father of the Indians." In fact, Jackson's policies towards Native Americans were highly controversial and detrimental. 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.

Andrew Jackson was a man of the white people.

In the politically correct 1990's there were some who demanded Jackson's removal from the $20 bill. Jackson was a great general and an American hero, but he was a highly flawed hero.
