Describe Jackson's views on Native Americans. What happened as a result?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Jackson's views on Native Americans were discriminatory and resulted in the forced removal of Native tribes from their ancestral lands. Jackson believed in the policy of Indian removal and signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which led to the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans, primarily from the southeastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River. This policy resulted in the Trail of Tears, a tragic and deadly journey for many tribes, causing immense suffering and loss of life.
