Krishan Brown Andrew Jackson Indian Removal plan was against the nation’s policy, so therefore there was no reformulation. THe president changed the way the policy actually worked because he was a iron fisted person. So the plan was against the nations policy, because it took away the Indian’s rights, stripped them of their land, and took away the nation’s pride, and many other presidents have their different views on the matter. Andrew Jackson was an interesting President, he never took sides
policy agenda beyond a vague craving for "reform" (or revenge) and a determination to extinguish Indian claim to lands east of the Mississippi River and relocate the tribes west of the Mississippi. On these two matters he moved quickly and decisively. During the campaign, Jackson had charged the Adams bureaucracy with fraud and with working against his election.

Some Historians conceive him as a prominent nationalist, who saved the Union by condemn nullification.

He had to try to make the proper decision not only for his close friends and family, but for an entire nation. Topics like slavery, Indian removal, bank control, Industrialization, and the preservation of the Union, that if not handled properly, could result in civil war, or the division of the country.
