Removing American Indians will allow white settlers to become wealthier.
I am certain that it is Andrew Jackson who was the president during the Removal Act of the Native Americans.

The final phase of the Indian removal plan was the removal of the Cherokees. The Indian Removal Act was a law passed by Congress during Andrew Jackson presidency on May 28, 1830.
Andrew Jackson proposed the Indian removal act, forcing the Indians the relocate. The relocation is called the Trail of Tears.
The issue of states rights vs. federal authority was brought to national attention over the removal of the Cherokee from their treaty guaranteed lands in Georgia. The U.S. Supreme Court decided it was unconstitutional to force their removal, which would in essence be breaking the treaty the U.S. government made with the Cherokee nation, but President Jackson explicitly refused to enforce the Supreme Court decision. Georgia insisted that within its own borders it had the right to do whatever it wanted and that state law superseded federal law. In 1830 the Indian Removal Act was signed into law, precipitating a path towards Civil War.
American Indians will be allowed to practice their own culture and live the way they want.
Andrew Jackson argued that the Indian Removal Act was beneficial for both Native Americans and American settlers. He claimed it would protect Native American tribes from the encroachments of settlers and lead to their survival by relocating them to lands where they could thrive. Jackson emphasized that removal would promote progress and development for American society, allowing for the expansion of agriculture and settlement in the southeastern territories. Ultimately, he framed the policy as a way to preserve Native American culture while facilitating American expansion.

Andrew Jackson famously defied the Supreme Court's decision regarding the unconstitutionality of Georgia's Indian removal laws. He reportedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," implying that he would not take action to uphold the ruling. This response exemplified his commitment to Indian removal policies, leading to the forced relocation of Native American tribes, most notably the Trail of Tears. Jackson’s actions highlighted the tension between the executive branch and the judiciary during his presidency.
