I may be wrong-

Andrew Jackson believed it would be a good act because it was "fair". He was gaining the land that the Indians once owned and the Indians were being relocated to a "better" place. Even though this was not the case and he actually moved them to inhabital land and the move front heir land to the new place was called the trail of tears where commanders gave Indians chicken pox and killed many.

I hope this helps ^^
