$20 Bill : Don't We All? Andrew Jackson For the Win

Jackson's presidency has a direct impact on the constitution by both following and defying its law, even in his own Jacksonial democracy. Jackson's consideration for the native Americans involved fickle and ambivalent opinions regarding terms of land, America, and both sides of the people. Jackson's perspectives towards the native Americans still are sentimental, and along with his guilts upon them he occasionally spares them hope. Still after, he thinks of how great the American nation would be if land were to be expanded and its precious environment would to be filled with people. These two ideas of his conscience alter from time to time, but eventually one of the worst acts in native Americans' perspectives came to be the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The document of "Indians Should Be Removed to the West" expresses of how much Jackson wanted to expand; as you read through the document, you can see aspects of sentimental thought, yet contradictory ruthless thoughts against the native Americans.
