President Jackson was known for his policies of Indian removal and forced assimilation. He signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which allowed for the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory, present-day Oklahoma. Jackson also disregarded previous treaties and forced many tribes to relocate through military force, such as the Cherokee Trail of Tears. His policies ultimately led to the displacement and suffering of countless Native American communities.
