The Indian Removal

On signing the Indian Removal Act in 1930, President Andrew Jackson of America was illustrating his desire to expand the American land. The act was neither a racist move nor a move by the president to establish peace between Georgia and the Cherokee nation. Nonetheless, it was neither the pressure from the southerners nor the perceived need of preserving the Indians culture that was facing erosion by the Americans. The president knew that there was a significant amount of money tied to the land. He had to use all means to ensure that the Indians exit their land. This became evident when the president’s move to execute the Indians on peaceful terms failed. Since the Indians have extreme love to their culture, the president tried to make them think that a move to another land would help them to preserve their culture. On the contrary, a move from their native land destroyed their culture of collecting food and performance of Hindu rituals on their ancestral land. When the move failed, the president attempted a more convincing promise.

The president promised them fertile soil immediately they live their land. A show of resistance from the Indians made the president to reveal his mission and reasons for the execution. He sent a troop to the land and forcefully drived the Indians from their land. He made things to be worse when he allowed the troops to use excessive force. This led to deaths of Indians who showed high levels of resistance. This portrays a man whose mission is malicious. The monetary reward from the Indians land was his main interest. Although the Indian culture was under the destruction and the Indians were facing racial discrimination, President Andrew Jackson would have easily solved the differences without the Indian Removal as an option. In reality, the act was an extreme extend of colonization, where the colonist not only uses the resources of another nation, but also acquires the whole nation and drives the natives away from their land.
