As young man, Jackson lived in western Tennessee, an area in which there was constant conflict with the Indians. Later, he commanded an army which fought wars against Indian tribes. Thus he tended to look on Indians as an enemy of the government. When he became President, he sided against the Indians despite a supreme court decision. Later he helped plan what he thought was a solution- namely to move the Indians in the Southern US to an area across the Mississippi River. Unfortunately, the Indians were forced to walk there and many died.
