The Indian removal policy by Andrew Jackson was the removal of all Cherokee nations (forced out of their native land) made to migrate toward the Mississippi River and east to Oklahoma. The Cherokee people were faced with many hardships on this move. They were faced with hunger, disease, and exhaustion for all ages. Some even died on this journey they were forced to endure. Even though they fought back they were successful in the supreme court but Andrew Jackson did not uphold the law that was decided for them and he still forced the Cherokee people out. The Cherokee people were forced from their homeland and nothing was done about it. The hardships that the Cherokee people endured later became known as the trail of tears. These people had the right to stay in their native land decided by the government but one man alone had the power to overthrow what was decided. I further have noticed that if you think you are bigger than the law and do something of this statue and the law does not hold you accountable then something is wrong.
