Andrew+Jackson

= Andrew Jackson and Indian Removal =

"To 19th century Americans, land represented wealth, self-reliance and freedom. In an era characterized by rapid population growth and plagued by economic depression, the pull to move west was strong in white settlers who hoped for a better life. This desire to move west was soon characterized as our national "destiny." Americans would move west and "extend the boundaries of freedom. The presence of Native American tribes on western land though hampered this "destiny." U.S. Government policy moved first to assimilate the Native Americans into white culture, then to remove Native Americans from their land and relocate them to land set aside for them further west. Enforcement of these policies led to violence and destruction." Source: [|Indian Removal and the Politics of Westward Expansion]  **Historian's Craft (In-Class Activity)**
