Answer:

Andrew Jackson's and his involvement with the Indian Removal Policy, or his bravery in the War of 1812

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1838, Andrew Jackson passed the Indian removal policy, This was when the Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma. The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears," because of its devastating effects. The migrants faced hunger, disease, and exhaustion on the forced march. Over 4,000 out of 15,000 of the Cherokees died.

During the War of 1812, General Andrew Jackson led his troops through enemy territory to victory through many violent battles. This accomplishment led him to the presidency in 1829.
