According to Jackson, what were the advantages of Indian removal? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

Settlers would live apart from American Indians.

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson did not believe that Native Americans could be assimilated into the “American culture”, because of that, he did not defend the fact the Native Americans should live with the white settlers. Also, allow Native Americans to live in their original areas would require troops to defend the land from the white settlers. Because of that, a good solution was to remove the Native Americans from their original land and settle them in areas farther west.
