2. Settlers and Indians lived together peacefully
3. The cherokee formed a constitutional government
4. Chief Justice John Marshall was elected to the Supreme Court

Respuesta :

Answer: 1. Many Indians in the south were forced off their lands.

Explanation:

President Andrew Jackson signed the law in 1830. The law required Indians to leave the southern parts of the country in favor of whites. Many historians have declared this act to be a systematic genocide perpetrated by the former US president. In this way, Native Americans are strongly discriminated against. Jackson was steadfast in his intent even if he knew certain inhumane acts carried out by his officers in enforcing the law.
