__**Summary/Assessment:**__ Write a letter to President Jackson explaining your position, either in support or in opposition, on the policy of Indian Removal using the following question: **Is Andrew Jackson’s policy of Indian removal a responsible effort for the benefit of all or is the policy a violation of Constitution?** Write your letter in the first person as though you were in this time period (sometime in 1836). Remember that you are addressing the president so you need to include facts to back up your ideas. Use the discussion from your groups, your notes, and details from the textbook to help you write your letter.
