Question

Evaluate the extent to which Andrew Jackson’s presidency represented a change in American politics and society. Confine your answer to the 1820s–1840s.

Answer 1

Answer:

The forced migration of Native Americans.

Explanation:

Andrew Jackson’s presidency represented a change in American politics and society by forcing Native Americans to leave their land for the white settlements. Jackson was elected the seventh president of the United States in 1828 and founded the Democratic Party. He supported individual liberty and instituted policies which resulted in disaster for the Native Americans. The relocation of the Native people from east of the Mississippi, under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, led them to walk for miles, which known as the Trail of Tears. During 1838 and 1839, American Indians forced to march towards the west.
