Andrew Jackson is portrayed as endorsing the payment of useless scrip for the Indian lands in Tennessee. He also turned a blind eye to the greedy entrepreneurs who schemed and pressured the Indians to accept this non-payment. A full-blooded Cherokee lawyer pleaded their case before the Supreme Court and won, but Jackson adamantly refused to obey the court. This, along with other doings, make Andrew Jackson among the worst presidents in US history in the eyes of indigenous Americans.
