Answer 1

President Andrew Jackson supported the Indian removal policy because white settlers desired the land on which Native American Indians were living.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1830s, President Andrew Jackson supported the Indian removal policy because:

1. White settlers desired the land on which Native American Indians were living: Jackson believed that by removing Native American tribes from their lands, it would make way for white settlers to expand and develop the land.
2. He sought complete control of Texas by the United States: Although not explicitly mentioned in the provided information, controlling Texas was not a reason for Jackson's support of the Indian removal policy. The information suggests that Jackson's main motivation was the desire to open up land for white settlement.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) White settlers desired the land on which Native American Indians were living.
