The most significant impact of the Indian removal policy discussed by Andrew Jackson was the deaths of thousands along the Trail of Tears. This forced relocation led to widespread suffering, illness, and death among Native Americans as they were compelled to leave their ancestral lands and move to designated Indian Territory. The other options, while they may entail historical context regarding Native American relations or economic factors, do not directly illustrate the primary consequence of Jackson's Indian removal policy as starkly as the tragedy of the Trail of Tears.
