Based on President Andrew Jackson's address regarding the removal of Native Americans, the primary advantages he cited included:
A. Stops possible trouble between Federal and State governments on account of Native Americans.
C. Opens the territory to be settled by whites, so states will grow in wealth and population.
E. Strengthens the frontier to repel any invasion.
While Jackson’s arguments were framed in the context of benefiting both settlers and Native Americans, the underlying motivations were largely centered on opening land for white settlement and economic development. The other options, B (making Native Americans happy) and D (protecting Native Americans), are not consistent with the justifications typically provided for the forced removal policies of that era.
