Andrew Jackson gave them the right to go **** themselves.

Yes.

Theory 1: The only reason why whites turned easy and soft on American Indians in the 20th century was because they didn't see them as a threat anymore, like in the 19th century.

Theory 2: Reservations of this day are basically zoos of people. They're isolated communities where the locals are paid by the host government to upkeep their culture and bloodline so they can be observed by curious tourists. In the instant moment when the host nation sees reservation as a potential genuine threat, it becomes obliterated.

Any reason-based (as opposed to emotion-based) opposition to these theories?

durr REPUBLICANS this, hurr DEMOCRATS that

good god

The 1924 act and the 1965 act which reversed many of it's goals were both based on slow, gradual ideological changes on how the voting public at large saw the US. Both received broad support from both parties. Neither has very little to do with party labels.
