Many tribes signed the removal treaties. However, the Cherokee Nation refused and fought the government in courts.
25,000 people died
In 1830 the Congress of the United States passed the "Indian Removal Act." Although many Americans were against the act, most notably Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett, it passed anyway.
The Indian Removal Act was passed on May 28, 1830. It authorized the President to negotiate with Indian tribes in the south for their removal to federal territory in exchange for their homelands.
The Indian Removal Act pushed for and signed by Andrew Jackson(D), allowed him to negotiate the removal of Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi. At that time, it was thought that America would never expand beyond the Mississippi. Jackson used that Act to forcibly remove the Cherokee from their lands, illegally. It was one of many Trails of Tears.
Both the Indian Removal Act and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) began in the spring of 1830. The Indian Removal act sent many Native American Tribes west of the Mississippi River. These relocated tribes were encountered by the Mormons about 15 years later when the Mormons were forced west of the Mississippi River as well. The Native Americans felt sorry for the Mormons and helped them survive in the harsh west.
You might want to check out the Constitution's position on that in the 1830s--I dont think that, according to the constitution, the Native Americans had many rights at that time so perhaps their rights were not violated because they had none at all. If you were talking about the universal rights we have today regarding all beings, then they were DEFINITELY violated--they had no political say, they had no inclusion in legal rights, and they were raped, tortured, moved out of their homes, and killed brutally.
About 4,000 Indians were moved.

Many Americans supported Indian removal because they thought it would be good for them because they did not think the U.S would expand past the Mississippi River. Some thought that now the Indians could govern themselves and not be harassed.
