he believed that the government had the power to tell native Americans where they could live
President Andrew Jackson supported the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to negotiate treaties that would require Native American tribes to relocate west of the Mississippi River. This policy was justified by the belief in Manifest Destiny and the desire to open up lands for American settlers. The act led to the forced removal of thousands of Native Americans, culminating in the tragic Trail of Tears, where many suffered and died during the journey. Jackson's support for this policy reflected a broader trend of displacement and marginalization of Indigenous peoples during that era.

Two key factors that led President Andrew Jackson to sign the Indian Removal Act were the desire for westward expansion and economic interests in land. Jackson believed that moving Native American tribes to lands west of the Mississippi River would facilitate the growth of agriculture and settlement by American farmers, particularly in the southern states. Additionally, there was widespread support among white settlers who wanted access to fertile lands previously occupied by Native Americans, which further pressured Jackson to take action.

The Cherokees won a court case allowing them to stay in Georgia. US President Jackson would not honor the court's decision. Jackson was soon to leave office as his term was expiring. The actual and formal relocation of the Cherokee Native Tribe began under President Van Buren. Earlier, Chereokees had been forcefully been removed from certain deep south states.
