Answer 1

Answer:

1) I would characterize Andrew Jackson’s attitude toward Native Americansas a remover.

2) Imagining I were forced to relocate to a distant place or face death, I would you take my lucky charm.

I would feel completely deprived about my new surroundings.

3) There is always the alternative of a respectful policy that would have protected the interests of white settlers while preserving the rights and respecting the culture of Native Americans.

Explanation:

1 ) President Andrew Jackson got the right to allow his people to get the unclaimed lands in west Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders, just by just signing the Indian Removal Act into law, on May 28, 1830.

2) Many tribes or group of people could leave their homeland peacefully, but relocation policy or plundering cause the people to leave everything behind without the possibility of a clear future, so only God or Luck might help against the powerful one´s greed, a cross or a lucky charm may or may not help, but needs to be taken.

3) A respectful policy might sound as a fallacy, but America had already an owner, and those were the Native Americans. But settlers awarded themselves the right to deprive their land due to the empire´s greed, as history has shown the human being to be since the very beginning of its history, therefore they would never recognize Native Americans´ rights nor their culture.
