President Jackson’s actions toward Native Americans in the context of his first inaugural address and during the Trail of Tears were quite different. In his inaugural speech, the President promised to give “humane and considerate attention” to their rights. He also stated that he would treat Indians with liberal policies. However, the President’s attitude and conduct changed considerably during the Trail of Tears. Many Indians were forced to leave their homes despite the President’s former promises. Since the people had to travel in winter, when weather conditions were extremely harsh, many of them died. Apart from the sorrow of leaving their native land, thousands of Native Americans lost their close people. As a result, President Jackson’s politics was considered as an act of genocide rather than a peaceful removal of people.
