Jackson and Boudinot believed that Indian Removal was in the best interest of the Cherokee because they thought it would protect them from the encroachment of white settlers and potential violence. They argued that relocating to new territories would allow the Cherokee to maintain their way of life and sovereignty without the constant threat of conflict. Additionally, they believed that assimilation into American society was more feasible in a different location, where the Cherokee could develop their own economy and governance away from settler pressures.
