Why did Andrew javkson support the indiam removal acte of 1830?

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson supported the Indian Removal Act of 1830 primarily due to his belief in westward expansion and the idea of Manifest Destiny. He viewed Native American tribes as obstacles to the growth of American civilization and agriculture in the southeastern United States. Jackson believed that relocating Native Americans to lands west of the Mississippi River would benefit both white settlers and Native Americans by allowing them to maintain their way of life away from encroaching settlers. His policies, however, led to significant suffering and displacement for many Native American communities.
