How Was Andrew Jackson Effective Of The Removal Of Native Americans?

Andrew Jackson was one of the most proud and aggressive presidents the United States of America had seen so far in it’s young age. A demonstration of such a personality was his enforcement of the Native American Removal Policy. This Policy stated that all Natives be moved west of the Mississippi River, regardless of the Supreme Court’s rulings. This act of removing Native Americans from The United States of America was very beneficial to Americans, but unfortunately, was not helpful to the Native Americans at all. From this policy, Americans would gain more land, end America’s dispute between states and Federation on Indians, and would allow existing states to have a larger population and stronger militia.

This was truly a very sad chapter of American history. Lastly, Natives had to start their entire way of life over again. They came to their tiny new land with nothing but the little amount of clothes on their back. This wa a true trial for Native Americans, and was totally unfair because the united States of America’s “instantiated cupidity (endless greed) cries give!...give!” (Theodore Frelinghuysen, Address to Congress). Obviously, Natives were taken advantage of and forced into displacement for the good of The United
