Well, think about it. Jackson didn't like Indians in general, he thought they were lesser people. Even though he was all about the "free man" and "rights for those less fortunate..." he was a rich plantaion owner from the South. Georgians wanted the Seminals out for production purposes, the Cherokees were in the way of development further past the Appalations.

to see or not to see, your emotional distortion?

Jackson, who had rescued and adopted a 10 month old Indian orphan following a battle with the Indians, believed that relocating the Indians to the Oklahoma Territory was the only way to appease the white settlers and preserve the Indian people.
