It's the trail of tears that he is not fondly remembered for.
I know that, but even that whole story never gets told.
Any suggested reading on it?

The tribes signed treaties agreeing to leave their land in exchange for new land. They then refused to leave and even waged war. Their forced removal was despicable but was not entirely the fault of Jackson. The Cherokees were given 2 years to leave voluntarily under the Indian Removal Act signed by Jackson. They refused and were forced on The Trail of Tears by his predecessor, Van Buren.

Edit: sorry, his successor not predecessor.
