Jackson was behind the “Indian Removal Act”. It wasn’t just Cherokee he sought to destroy, he earned the nickname “Indian Killer”.
from Wikipedia:
“Andrew Jackson is often erroneously credited with initiating Indian Removal, because Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830, during his presidency, and also because of his personal involvement in the forceful removal of many Eastern tribes. But Jackson was merely legalizing and implementing a plan laid out by Jefferson in a series of private letters that began in 1803, although Jefferson did not implement the plan during his own presidency.[4]”
