Not really. We tried to Europeanize them and they just feel flat. Jackson did not help things with removing the Cherokees, but the Creeks and Choctaw were problems to contend with, and although some had sided with the colonialists in fighting against the Native Americans, like during the Creek Wars around the time of the War of 1812, they could not be trusted. Jackson was trying to protect the Southern border and move West, but getting rid of the Cherokees should never have been part of that plan.
The military and Supreme Court looked into the case and wanted to do something about it, but Jackson overrode them. I think Jackson was doing it because the Southern Native Americans had been a little closer to the British, who he hated, but he also a point because during the Chickamauga War in Tennessee they killed Ulster-Scottish tradesmen and hunters/merchants. I think when you make the argument in full Jackson was justified in the Trail of Tears, except for in the case of the Cherokees, who represented no threat to the establishment at all. I think Grant was wrong though to take the Reserve option, although it made sense to ensure they did not attack whites and soldiers, but Grant should have just driven them into Canada or along the Left Coast.
We might not have any white leftists on the Left Coast and massive degeneracy these days, but rather just Native American populations(who would be leftists probably), with major white urban areas dictating the whole situation in the region, and having so many Native Americans in the region might have kept the leftists more conservative.
