The answer is Andrew Jackson!

Answer 2

Answer:

The responsible for creating the Native American reservation system was Andrew Jackson.

Explanation:

The approval of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, marked the systematization of a federal policy aimed at forcibly transferring native populations away from white-populated areas.

An example was the Five Civilized Tribes, who were deported from their native lands to the southern United States and transferred to today's Oklahoma, in a mass migration that became known as the Trail of Tears. Some of the lands that were given to these tribes to live in, following deportations, eventually became Indian reservations.

In 1851, the Congress approved the Indian Appropriations Act, which authorized the creation of Indian reserves in today's Oklahoma. Relations between the settlers and the natives had become worse as the settlers illegally occupied territory and natural resources in the West.
