Question

support or refute Andrew Jackson's claim the Indian removal was done in the best interest of American Indians

Answer 1

I support Andrew Jackson's claim which states that the Indian Removal was done in the best interests of American Indians.

The indian removal of the United States to Individual States brough several benefits, such as:

• It put an end to a possible danger of collision.
• It allowed states to grow rapidly in wealth, power and population, which reinforced the southwestern border.

In addition, the indian removal to the native americans contributed to:

• Release the Indians of the power of the state.
• Enabled them to maintain their way of life (culture, traditions, language, etc).

As Jackson quoted himself "The removal was necessary because the Native Americans would be annihilated".
