Answer 1

The correct response regarding the impact of the Treaty of Echota on American Indians during Andrew Jackson’s presidency is:

It sold Cherokee lands to the United States government.

The Treaty of Echota, signed in 1835 by a small faction of the Cherokee nation, ceded all Cherokee land east of the Mississippi River to the United States in exchange for compensation and land in the west. This treaty was highly controversial and opposed by the majority of the Cherokee people, ultimately leading to the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears under Jackson's policies.
