Worcester vs. Georgia
The natives were being pushed off their land, and didn't like that. They took this to the Supreme Court, to settle this conflict with Jackson. The Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee nation was a "Sovereign" nation and Georgia could not interfere with the Cherokee. Jackson ignored the Supreme Court ruling, and signed the Indian Removal Act.

Southerner
I view Andrew Jackson as a good president because he gave us suffrage, and he signed the Indian Removal Act, which will give us more land in the south. He also abolished the National bank, which favored the wealthy, and helped us with a lot of conflicts.
Cherokee
Andrew Jackson is a disgrace to the American nation, and he is a monster. We have lived on this land for more years than the U.S. has been a country. There is no reason we should move off of this land, and onto a reservation.
