Answer 1

The statement that was not a reason given by the president in support of the Indian Removal Act is:

"Sending the Indians westward will maintain English as the country's primary language."

This reason does not align with the commonly cited justifications for the Indian Removal Act, which focused primarily on land settlement, safety for settlers, and the supposed benefits of relocation for the Native Americans.
