President Andrew Johnson's attitude toward African Americans significantly influenced his approach to Reconstruction by promoting leniency towards the Southern states and opposing civil rights for freed slaves. He believed in a swift restoration of the Union without strong protections for African Americans, which led to the implementation of Black Codes that restricted their rights. Johnson's unwillingness to support measures that would empower African Americans ultimately hindered the progress of Reconstruction and exacerbated racial tensions in the South. His presidency is often criticized for failing to address the needs and rights of newly freed African Americans.

What reasons did Andrew Jackson give for supporting the Indian removal act how did he compare the Indian removal to death in what sense was Jackson's attitude intolerant?

To put it bluntly Jackson felt that the only good Indian was a dead one. He built his reputation on killing native Americans and there were many who agreed with him. The US policy towards the Native Americans was one of discrimination and it was apartheid at it's very worse. The Indian Removable Act moved native people off of ancestral lands so settlers could take the land or the railroad go through. Moving people to reservations meant that they were unable hunt, and unable to live within reasonable means. It was death and Jackson was intolerant in his attitude to Native Americans.

Why is attitude important?

The Bible is many things to many people; record of the past, parable for the present, window on the future, guide for living, etc. I wonder sometimes how many (or how few) people have thought of it as a scientific textbook which requires no scientific frame of reference. Long story, too long to tell, but this contributor believes that a good attitude sends positive energy which will reward you. A sorry attitude will only add more weight to the baggage you already carry. Dump what you can, smile, and be grateful for what you have. Attitude makes a difference.
