The correct answer is A major reason for President Andrew Jackson’s policy towards the Cherokee nation was to obtain land from Native American Indians for white settlers.

Andrew Jackson was in favor of the removal of American Indians from their territory. He considered that the American Indians must live separated from the White people. He demanded the Cherokees to leave their territories in Georgia and relocate in the west.

In 1838, a relatively small delegation of Cherokee signed the Treaty of New Echota, facilitating the exit of Cherokee people to Oklahoma.
