Jackson had the view that a " good Indian was a dead one." This lead to the Indian Removal Act and the wholesale removal of Native Americans to reservations and the loss of their native ancestoral lands as well as death, starvation, and disease. One of the worse events in his presidency was the Trail of Tears when 4,000 Native Americans were walked from Georgia and Florida in the dead of winter to a reservation in Oklahoma. Many elderly, children, and women died on the walk.
