Question

in his message to congress ''on idian removal,'' how did andrew jackson use negative connotation to influence his audience?

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson used "negative connotation" as a way to persuade the people that what he was doing was for the betterment of the Indians who he had referred to as "savages" multiple times.

Answer 2

In this speech, Andrew Jackson uses negative connotations when he refers to American Indians. Jackson wants the reader to agree with his view of Indians as uncivilized, wild people. He refers to them as "savages." The use of connotation in this example allows Jackson to convince people of the need to  "civilize" and "educate" such people, which would encourage support for Indian removal.
