A.
Jackson was criticized for siding with Georgia and supporting removal of Native Americans (not protecting Cherokee lands), leading to the Trail of Tears.
B is wrong — he actively opposed South Carolina's nullification and even threatened force (Force Bill) while backing a compromise tariff. C is wrong — the Fort Sumter firing (1861) began the Civil War long after Jackson's death. D is wrong — Jackson was a military leader in the War of 1812, winning the Battle of New Orleans.
