Question

Since Jackson's audience is mostly white citizens (Congress), and not the American Indians who are being forced off their land, why do you think the President goes out of his way to say that the Indian Removal Act will help the American Indians? In other words, what do you think his motive is in this particular case?

Answer 1

President Andrew Jackson might have ppushed for the Indian Removal Act in Congress because:

• He wanted the support of the white legislators.

What was the aim of the President?

The President wanted Congress to see reasons why the Indian Removal Act was necessary. This push must have sailed easily as his audience was a white majority.

Many of them wanted the Cherokee nation to give way for the white settlers in Georgia. So his argument must have been persuasive.
