Answer:

The answer would be A: Jackson had been involved in many wars to remove Native Americans from their land.

Step-by-step explanation:

When he was a president, Jackson passed the Indian Removal act which forced thousands of Native Americans to move from their homes. He made the Trail of Tears, this was the trail in which thousands of Native Americans were forced from their land In Georgia/Tennessee etc.. all the way to Oklahoma. Around 4,000 people died there. Not only that but he made fun of them. In time, they still had to move from the territory he gave them.

Hope this helps!
