Jackson’s Message on Indian Removal

Jackson’s Message on Indian Removal 1830

President Andrew Jackson believed that removal was in tribes’ best interest. But, many Native Americans referred to President Jackson, whom they formerly admired, as “the Devil.” Jackson’s message to Congress justified the removal policy already established by the Indian Removal Act of May 28, 1830.
