Andrew Jackson did what he thought was best for America when it came to Indian removal. Jackson decision to remove the Indians allowed for the newly acquired land to become “the basis for the cotton kingdom”(As long as Grass Grows or Water Runs, p107).
If it wasn’t for Jackson we may not have such a rich country because cotton heavily strengthened our economy and promoted trade. Jackson thought passionately that if they were to move the Indians out west for a fair trade of money and supplies it would make life better for both Indians and Americans. It wasn’t like he was being a king and just doing what he wanted because he had public support (Holt 10.3). Jackson did not do what he was supposed to do which was to enforce the laws of the land
