A
Jackson is criticized for his treatment of Native Americans — he supported Georgia's removal of Native lands and refused to enforce the Supreme Court's decision protecting Cherokee rights (leading to the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears).
B is incorrect (Fort Sumter/Civil War happened long after Jackson). C is incorrect (Jackson was a prominent general in the War of 1812). D is incorrect because Jackson actively opposed South Carolina's nullification, even threatening military force and signing the Force Bill.
