Savage is a word that people don't look up to. Savage is known as a wild creature and by calling the indians a savage, he is saying that they are wild.

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Why might Andrew Jackson have chosen to use the word "savage" in his message to Congress "on Indian removal", would be, that it justified the actions that were being taken by the government authorities to remove the Indian tribes from their ancestral lands, by force, even though treaties had been signed before to prevent this from happening. By using the word "savage", Jackson gave the impression to Americans that Natives were lesser beings, inferior, whose rights could never supersede those of the white, and educated, settlers. Thus, with this, Jackson was able to pass into law the Indial Removal Act in 1830, and a massive deportation of Native Americans ensued towards the lands west of the Mississippi River. This Removal Act, and the way that Jackson´s government acted towards the Native Americans, have long been considered one of the greatest acts of discrimination, and genocide, in American history.

A tip i can give you is to use a topis that you are strong about. Forexample, if you strongly believe that state tests should not be administered you should use that. But ypou need evidence to back this claim up. If you dont, then the essay wont be per<span>suasive</span> it will only be an opinion that people wont believe.
