Answer:
I would argue that Claiborne's interactions with the Native Americans made interactions worse. Claiborne was an advocate for the removal of the Choctaw tribe from their lands in Mississippi. He also supported the use of force against the Seminoles in Florida.
Claiborne's policies towards the Native Americans was largely rooted in a desire to clear the land for white settlement. This did not sit well with many of the Native American tribes who saw their land being taken away. Claiborne's policies led to a great deal of conflict between the Native Americans and the Europeans.
