 === Early Historical Information  ===
-The presidency of Andrew Jackson (1830-1938)was marked by policies that removed Native Americans from their ancestral lands. This relocation of American Indians was designed to make room for settlers into those locations as well as land spectators who made significant profits from the buying and selling of land. There was almost no political resistance to these policies because the main supporters of Jackson lived in the western and southern states and favored plans to free up the land that was occupied by Native Americans along the frontier west of the Mississippi River. The removal of First Nation people was often begun in the winter and the Native Americans had little in the way of protective clothing or shoes and no food was provided to them along the way. They were not allowed into the villages and towns along the way and this necessitated even longer and harder routes to reach their destination in Oklahoma. Resistance was met with armed militia and there was little that the Indians could do to defend themselves.
