Answer 1

C. Settlers in the South who wanted land for cotton farming

Step-by-step explanation:

The biggest supporters of the Indian removal policies of President Jackson were settlers in the South who wanted land for cotton farming. President Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policies aimed to forcibly relocate Native American tribes, primarily in the southeastern United States, to lands west of the Mississippi River. This removal was driven by the desire for more fertile land suitable for growing cotton, which was a significant economic activity in the South during that time. The policy resulted in the forced displacement of thousands of Native Americans and the tragic Trail of Tears for many tribes.
