Answer 1

Answer:The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is C. The biggest supporters of the Indian removal policies of President Jackson were settlers in the South who wanted land for cotton farming. Jackson persuaded Congress to pass the Removal Act of 1830 in order to accomplish his goal. The Act provided a procedure by which the President may grant Indian tribes that agreed to cede their ancestral territories land west of the Mississippi River.

Who opposed the Indian Removal Act?

Even in the face of Georgia's attacks on its sovereign rights and violence directed at the Cherokee people, the Cherokee Nation, under the leadership of Principal Chief John Ross, opposed the Indian Removal Act.

Removal would "incalculably reinforce the southern barrier," according to Jackson. He claimed that eliminating the Indian populations in Alabama and Mississippi would "let those states progress swiftly in population, money, and power."
