Our government and people first tried to civilize the Native American tribes which consisted of clothing, lifestyle, jobs, food, and farming. Whites formed such groups as "The Society for Propogating the Gospel Among Indians". After awhile, there were five distinct tribes that did not vehemently refuse this "civilization"; the Cherokee, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles. These Native American tribes, especially Cherokees, adopted a written language, a written legal code, a written constitution based off our own with the three branches of government, farming, and slaveholding. Despite all of this, in 1828 Georgia legislature declared Cherokee tribal council illegal and asserted their jurisdiction power over all land and affairs of the tribe. Cherokee declared this unfair and brought the case to the Supreme Court where 3 times did John Marshall rule in the Native American's favor. Our president at the time (Jackson) did not want to leave the Cherokee where they were and told Marshall that he had made his decision, and now he had to enforce it.(This was obviously impossible because the rights to enforce laws had been given to the executive office.)

What best describes jackson's policy toward indian peoples?
He kicked soccer ball them allTHAT ^ IS NOT THE ANSWER THIS IS >Jackson also espoused removing Indian tribes in the United States to the west of the Mississippi River as one of his reforms. Jackson argued that the United States policy of attempting to assimilate Indian tribes into white society had failed and it would destroy the Indians’ way of life. Furthermore, Jackson recognized that whites desired Indian lands and he feared that if they remained in those areas that they would eventually be exterminated. Opposition groups fought Jackson’s removal policy in Congress, but their efforts failed by just a handful of votes. Congress’s authorization of removal empowered Jackson to make treaties with the Indian tribes to arrange for their removal. Jackson, who railed against government corruption, largely ignored the shady treaties forced on the various tribes and the actions of government officials. The Indian Removal process was completed two years after Jackson left office with great loss of Indian life due to corruption, inadequate supplies, and the removal of many Indians by force. Today, Jackson’s Indian Removal policy and its tragic consequences that produced the Trail of Tears is the most conspicuous blight on his presidential legacy. www.thehermitage.com
