Please respond to this student in 200 words, use the questions above to guide you:
Based on the material from the past two weeks, the Indian Removal policies emerged primarily due to Native resistance to Jackson’s attempt to assimilate them into American culture. Jackson realized the Indians would not listen to him so he called for them to exchange their tribal lands in the east for non-inhabited lands in the west.
While reading through Andrew Jackson’s first inaugural address, his second annual address, and then his letter to the Cherokee tribe, I felt as if each piece was written/said from a completely different person with completely different values and goals. Regarding Jackson’s first inaugural address, I felt that he seemed very sincere and really cared about strengthening the relationship between the United States and the indigenous tribes. The way he presented himself seemed as if he was unconditionally willing to find a solution that would treat the Indians justly, which can be seen when he said that “it will be my sincere and constant desire to observe toward the Indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy, and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants which is consistent with the habits of our Government and the feelings of our people.”
