In his message to congress "on indian removal," how did andrew jackson use negative connotation to influence his audience? a. by using words like "opportunity" to make it seem as if american indians are getting a good deal. b. by using words like "savages" to give the audience a certain impression of american indians c. by using words like "christians" to make the audience feel they are superior to others. d. by using words like "benevolent" to make audiences feel they are doing the right thing

 The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

   President Andrew Jackson sent a message to Congress on december 6, 1830. He was pursuing the relocation of Native American tribes to land west of the Mississippi River. He wanted American citizens to be settled there.

   A few months ago, Jackson obviously supported the Indian Removal Act (May 28,1830), by which the president had the authority to give Indian tribes unsettled land in exchange for their territories. A number of tribes were resettled peacefully but other refused to move west.

  In his message to Congress, Jackson used the word "savage" many times. Althought he is saying that he is making the Indians a generous offer by giving them a new home, he wants to show the audience that the tribes were not civilized, that they hinder progress and freedom. This is shown is this excerpt: "What good man would prefer a country covered with forests and ranged by a few thousand savages to our extensive Republic, studded with cities, towns, and prosperous farms embellished with all the improvements...". Here's another example of the use of the word "savage". Again, a comparison is made between the Indians and the white or American people: "And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian?" Using this word with such negative connotation many times, Jackson wants to prove his point that Indians needed to be removed to give way to American citizens forming a peaceful, civilized and Christian community.
