Question 2 Which proposed piece of legislation is Jackson
most likely supporting in the above quote?

Read the passage and answer the following question
President Andrew Jackson, to Congress, December 1830
"And is it supposed that the wandering savage
has a stronger attachment to his home than the
settled, civilized Christian? Is it more afflicting to
him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to
our brothers and children? Rightly considered.
the policy of the general government toward the
red man is not only liberal but generous. He is
unwilling to submit to the laws of the states and
mingle with their population. To save him from
this alternative, or perhaps utter annihilation, the
general government kindly offers him a new
home, and proposes to pay the whole expense of
his removal and settlement."
-President Andrew Jackson, to Congress,
December 1830
President Jackson's Message to Congress "On
Indian Removal", December 6, 1830; Records of
