he wanted the pioneers to have more lands for them to have more resources.
Explanation:
Andrew Jackson just like Thomas Jefferson believe in removing the Indians in order to seize their lands. In Georgia, gold had been discovered on the territory of the Cherokees. Taking lands from Native tribes was also a means of having revenue for the federal government.
The federal government could have prevented the Southern States from depriving Native Americans from their lands since the Constitution grants it the sole right to negotiate with Native tribes.
