Indian Removal Act- The Indians in the South were constantly under pressure from white settlers. Only the federal government had the ability to protect the Indians. President Jackson removed that federal protection.
In 1830, the federal government passed the "Indian Removal Act," which allocated funds to negotiate with the Indians regarding their removal from the southern states. The federal government then began enforcing the Indian Removal Act by forcefully evicting 15,000 Indians from their land and compelling them, at gun point, to migrate to Oklahoma. The road to Oklahoma was named the "Trail of Tears."
