It is important to note that the vast majority of Native American deaths during this period were not the result of direct violence or military action, but rather from the spread of European diseases, such as smallpox and measles, which decimated Native American populations. Additionally, many Native Americans died from starvation and exposure as a result of the displacement and disruption of their traditional ways of life.
For example, the Cherokee Removal, also known as the Trail of Tears, resulted in the forced removal of approximately 15,000 Cherokee people from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the 1830s. Thousands of Cherokee died along the way, due to disease, malnutrition, and exposure to harsh weather.
Overall, the impact of Andrew Jackson's policies and actions on Native American populations was devastating and had far-reaching consequences that continue to be felt today.
