President Andrew Jackson held views that prioritized westward expansion and economic development over Native American rights. He believed that Native American tribes were impediments to progress and advocated for their removal from ancestral lands, leading to policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This resulted in the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans, most notably during the Trail of Tears, which devastated their populations and cultures. Jackson's actions reflected a broader sentiment of the time that marginalized Native American sovereignty and rights.
