In an article entitled “Indian-KIller Andrew Jackson Deserves Top Spot On List of Worst U.S. Presidents” by Gale Toensing, it is described that the infamous Indian Removal event known as the “trail of tears” involved more than 4,000 Native Cherokee deaths.(Doc 4 Par 3) With this number in mind, it is apparent that the amount of fatalities was a planned result and could easily be classified as a type of War Crime today. Along with this, it was later discovered that Jackson and his cabinet had not even followed the guidelines nor the regulations when dealing with “the Indian problem”. In history.com’s “Basic History of Indian Removal Policy”, it is explained that “It did not permit the president[…] to coerce Native nations into giving up their land. [...] The law required the government to negotiate removal treaties fairly, voluntarily and peacefully.
William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, is a classic novel about a group of schoolboys stuck on an island where fear and savagery consumes them.

Because of that Jackson believed that they could be removed with violence. Andrew Jackson was a good president even though he did not respect the indians. The people also believed that he could defend them, since he was a general in the Battle of New Orleans. He made a courteous society instead of crooked democrats. Jackson was distinguished as a "true American" when he was a candidate for president.
Even though Jackson was saved by a Cherokee native, he would not return the favor. " Chief John Ross sent Junaluska as an envoy to plead with President Jackson for protection for his people, but Jackson's manner was cold and indifferent towards the rugged son of the forest who had saved his life. " Junaluska was sent to beseeched President Jacksons to not push forward with the Indian Removal Act. Jackson wasn’t very magnanimity with the natives by pushing them off their ancestral land just so the U.S. can
He would refer to them in inhumane ways and forced them to move from their tribes just so he could benefit from their land. Jackson commented “... and perhaps cause them gradually, under the protection of the government and through the influence of good counsel, to cast off their savage habits and become an interesting, civilized, and Christian community” (Document 5). The Indians are being portrayed as aggressive animals when Jackson refers to their “savage habits.” Jackson not only made negative remarks about the Indians, but he also allowed soldiers to make the removal of Indians brutal, while knowing there was no way the Indians could defend themselves. Soldiers would not allow Indians to gather any belongings when they were picked up, not even another change of clothing.
The government of early America was not kind to people of any color besides white. The president at the time, Andrew Jackson, had spent many years in the army campaigning, taking Native American land and passing it on to white farmers. In the year 1830 he signed for the Indian Removal Act. This allowed the government to exchange Native American land east of the Mississippi for land in the west called "The Indian Colonization Zone. "
Clay Atterberry Mrs. Abrams/ Mr. Gazette 8th Grade English/Social Studies March 12, 2015 Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson the seventh president of the United States of America, also known as “sharp knife” by the Cherokee or “indian killer” by other various tribes(Indian-Killer Andrew Jackson Deserves Top Spot on List of Worst U.S. Presidents). From Jacksons actions towards Native Americans, to his dealings with the second Bank of the United States , and his work with the spoils system, General Jackson went on the rollercoaster of presidency from 1829 until 1837. He was a military leader before his presidency and he was very war minded.
The president was legally approved to negotiate with what is called The Indian tribes happening in the South of many States for the federal territory removal of the Mississippi river “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11)”. There were two leaders by the name of Keokuk—who crossed the river and Black Hawk-who refused to cross the river. “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11)”. It was known that the Black Hawk War fought for a couple of years and then the fight ended “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11)”. The Native American Surrendered in 1832 and 100 Indians and kids died “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11)”.
The president during the enforcement of the Indian removal act, Andrew Jackson, thought that the indigenous people were less civilized and moral than the settlers, although many of the tribes had adapted to the European lifestyle. He did not believe that the more “civilized” people should live alongside the indigenous people. When congress passed the Indian removal act in 1830 that stated that it was legal to force indigenous people off of their land, he fully enforced it, pushing tribes west. When there was an auction of Cherokee land, he claimed he couldn 't do anything to stop it, but he didn 't truly want to. The indigenous people wanted to coexist in peace, as Red Jacket stated, “‘You have got our country but are not satisfied; you want to force your religion upon us….
The Black Hills War, also known as the Great Sioux War of 1876, was a series of battles fought from 1876 through 1877, between the forces of the United States and their allies (Shoshone, Pawnee, and Crow) and the Sioux (Lakota, Dakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho). Taking place under two presidencies and resulting in hundreds of casualties on both sides, The Black Hills War made great impacts that would continue to affect Natives for generations. The United State’s extensive relationship with the Native Americans has its intricacies to say the least. With the arrival of English settlers at Jamestown in 1607, there were undoubtedly uncertainties amongst the Native people as to whether or not these settlers would resemble the Spanish settlers who
After the War of 1812, Jackson went to war against Native Americans. He was widely popular for killing Native Americans. When settlers wanted more place to farm they wanted to the Native Americans. Jackson promised to back white settlers who wanted the Native Americans lands regardless what treaty he signed with them. Congress created the Indian Removal Act of 1830 to honor Jackson’s promise.
Other presidents had wanted to move the Native Americans further west so that they could utilize their land, but they never really enforced it, until Andrew Jackson came along. He used the law to get Native Americans to move west from the land they grew up on. The military was even involved in enforcing the removal of the Native Americans in an event known as the Trail of Tears which killed many. Jackson earned the name “sharp knife” for how harshly he treated them and had his people speak out about how horrific it was. This can be observed in paragraphs 10 and 11, “The event was so horrific, a soldier in Georgia who helped in the removal said, “I fought in many wars between the states and have seen many men killed.but the Cherokee Removal was the cruelest work I ever knew.”
Jackson conducted a successful campaign that broke the back of the Creeks in 1813 and 1814, earning the nickname “Sharp Knife” from his Indian foes. When Jackson uprooted Native Americans west of the Mississippi River,

Throughout the 19th century Native Americans were treated far less than respectful by the United States’ government. This was the time when the United States wanted to expand and grow rapidly as a land, and to achieve this goal, the Native Americans were “pushed” westward. It was a memorable and tricky time in the Natives’ history, and the US government made many treatments with the Native Americans, making big changes on the Indian nation. Native Americans wanted to live peacefully with the white men, but the result of treatments and agreements was not quite peaceful. This precedent of mistreatment of minorities began with Andrew Jackson’s indian removal policies to the tribes of Oklahoma (specifically the Cherokee indians) in 1829 because of the lack of respect given to the indians during the removal laws.
