Answer 2

Answer;

B. refused to use Federal troops to protect the Cherokee tribe.

Explanation;

Andrew Jackson was a self-trained military genius who won the battle of New Orleans from the British. Congress had given Jackson authority to negotiate removal treaties, exchanging Indian land in the East for land west of the Mississippi River. Jackson used the dispute with Georgia to put pressure on the Cherokee to sign a removal treaty.

As part of Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policy, the Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma.
