debates the events of Indian Removal. They are all pretty clear that President Jackson signed legislation requiring the forced relocation of all Native Americans east of the Mississippi to reservations of the Government’s choosing. What we are concerned with today is why? The debate here is over President Andrew Jackson’s motives for Indian Removal. Did he want to remove the Indians for his own selfish gain (to sell or otherwise profit from their land) or was it to preserve the Native American Culture.
