An accurate portrayal of this historical figure has been debated since 1857‚ when the first historical narrative of the Jacksonian era was published by George Tucker (Cave). There does not seem to be a time in the foreseeable future when the matter will be resolved

The generalization that‚ "The decision of the Jackson administration to remove the Cherokee Indians to lands west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s was more a reformulation of the national policy that had been in effect since the 1790s than a change in that policy‚" is valid. Every since the American people arrived at the New World they have continually driven the Native Americans out of their native lands. Many people wanted to contribute to this removal of the Cherokees and their society. Knox

Did Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal policy benefit Native Americans? The Indian Removal act did a good amount of things for the Indians; but when I say good‚ it wasn’t really that good. This act mainly benefited people who received the land that the Indians were on. This coincides with how Native Americans were constantly treated poorly; they ended up having to travel many miles to live on new land. All this happened and Andrew Jackson believed that he was doing this for the good of the Indians.

Not only did Jackson violate the conditions mentioned prior‚ but he had a bad personality and was‚ in the words of Thomas Jefferson: “The most unfit person imaginable for the position.”
