This from a president who ignored a Supreme Court ruling and removed the Cherokee from their lands east of the Mississippi, then made sure he and his cronies seized the”abandoned” lands.
There is no doubt that Jackson was an expansionist. He was the source of the Texas rebellion, actually. He had tried to buy it, and when that didn’t work, somehow a bunch of Tennesseans following a Jackson friend, Sam Houston, managed to slice Texas away from Mexico.
Jackson’s fingers, via friends/associates, were all over the capture of the entire Hispanic south west and west.
The Cherokee and other tribes were small potatoes compared to what he initiated in the southwest.
It was several state governments that evicted the Indians. Jackson ignored an order to intervene. The only authority Jackson had been granted by Congress was authority to purchase land, to encourage voluntary migration, and to make provisions available to migrating Indians. He did all of those things. Meanwhile state governments, in particular Georgia, were evicting Indians by force, and Jackson refused to intervene.
