What did President Andrew Jackson do to promote his policy of Indian removal?
He presented it as a form of protection
Andrew Jackson longed to move the Indians in order to gat their lands, this ideology was inherited from Thomas Jefferson. He could not morally defend this position if he had given his real motivations, and just like Jefferson he claimed it was done for the protection of the Indians.

President Andrew Jackson promoted his policy of Indian removal primarily through the passage and implementation of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This act authorized the federal government to negotiate treaties with Native American tribes in the southeastern United States, exchanging their ancestral lands for lands west of the Mississippi River. Jackson and his administration pressured Native American tribes to sign these treaties, often using coercive tactics and offering minimal compensation. Additionally, Jackson refused to enforce rulings by the Supreme Court, most notably in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which affirmed Native American sovereignty and invalidated Georgia's laws extending jurisdiction over Cherokee lands. Jackson's defiance of the court's decision ultimately facilitated the forced removal of thousands of Native Americans, notably the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole tribes, along the infamous Trail of Tears to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).
