Answer: US ships had formed a naval quarantine around Cuba.

Explanation:

When US reconnaissance found out that the Soviet Union had been installing missiles in Cuba, the government was rightfully terrified because it meant that the Soviets could strike the US before they had time to defend themselves.

This sparked the Cuban Missile crises and led to President Kennedy ordering a naval blockade around Cuba. The Soviets were on their way there with more missiles and the world thought war would finally come if the two Superpowers collided outside Cuba.

Thankfully crises was averted as the leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union reached an understanding and the Soviet ships turned back in what was considered a victory for the U.S.

OLga [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".
