Spoils System
Andrew Jackson supported the spoils system which let Jackson's supporters and friends have jobs in the government even if they aren't qualified for the job. They probably don't know how their job works or what is the best thing to do in a situation. What would be really bad is if they made a not so smart decision that could affect the whole country greatly.
The Indian Removal Act
Andrew Jackson passed the Indian Removal act which made Indians move west of the Mississippi River. The non natives wanted to access the land because they had found gold where the 5 civilized tribes lived. This leads to the Trail of Tears which is the journey the Native Americans took to Oklahoma.
Trail of Tears
The Trail of Tears is the journey the Americans had to take sue to the Indian Removal Act. They faced hunger, disease, and exhaustion. Many were crying and couldn't bring most of their supplies.
