What is the purpose of andrew jackson’s message to congress “on indian removal”?

To justify the Indian Removal Act.

Explanation:

The purpose of the speech "On Indian Removal" given by President Andrew Jackson was to justify the Indian Removal Act. This was a law that was passed by the president in 1830, and which allowed the government to take Indian lands within existing state borders and exchange them for unsettled lands in the West. This would mean that many tribes would be relocated to areas far from their traditional territory, and often to regions that were less fertile or desirable. Many tribes resisted this relocation, such as the Cherokee, who were eventually removed and forced to march in what become known as the "Trail of Tears."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
