Answer 2

Answer:

President Jackson’s Indian Removal Policy led to the deaths of thousands of Native Americans during the forced march to Oklahoma.

The relocation of Native Americans led to increased poverty because the new lands were unconducive to farming.

The loss of cultural identity and lack of economic opportunities led to an increase in poverty and social instability.

Explanation:

These are all consequences of the removal policy that was implemented by President Jackson. Due to this forceful removal, and to the fact that Native American people were forced to march to Oklahoma, thousands of people died. This led to the fragmentation of families and communities, and to the loss of some elements of cultural identity. Moreover, the new land Native American Indians were relocated to was unconducive to farming. All these conditions meant that many Native American communities fell into poverty and social instability.
