Question

Which of the following decisions of Andrew Jackson is considered one of the causes of the economic depression of the late 1830s?
allowing Georgia to drive Native Americans out of open lands
using a ruthless political strategy in order to get elected
using force to combat South Carolina's nullification laws
demanding that gold and silver be used to buy land

Answer 1

I would say allowing Georgia to drive Native Americans out of open lands.
Government has constantly defeated its own policy, and the Indians in general, receding farther and farther to the west, have retained their savage habits. A portion, however, of the Southern tribes, having mingled much with the whites and made some progress in the arts of civilized life, have lately attempted to erect an independent government within the limits of Georgia and Alabama.
