What do you already know about president Jackson's feelings about Indian removal?

President Andrew Jackson was in favor of Indian Removal, as he signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This federal law forced Native American groups (like the Cherokee) to move out of their homeland (in present day Georgia) to reservations in present day Oklahoma. Jackson felt this removal was necessary as the Native Americans never assimilated into American culture. Instead, he saw this land fight for white settlers who would use it to develop farms.
