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.

I am certain that it is Andrew Jackson who was the president during the Removal Act of the Native Americans.

Andrew Jackson. He signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the forced removal of Native American tribes, primarily the Cherokee, from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to territories west of the Mississippi River. This resulted in the Trail of Tears, a tragic and deadly journey for many Native Americans.
Jackson vigorously pursued the policy of removal that forced eastern Indian nations to move west of the Mississippi in the 1830s. Opponents of removal mocked Jackson's professed compassion for Native Americans by depicting him as a paternal figure comforting Indian "children."
