to take the land that the native Americans lived on
make room for expanding white settlement in the eastern United States.
In the 1850s, US government policy towards Native Americans underwent a significant shift. The passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, which forced many Native American tribes to relocate west of the Mississippi River, set the stage for this change. The discovery of gold in California in 1848 sparked a rush of settlers, leading to increased conflicts with Native Americans. As a result, the government began to advocate for a policy of forced assimilation and the establishment of reservations to contain Native Americans.
Colonists made military rivalries between Indian nations in order to assure colonial security and open further land for settlement.

The Indian Removal Act
The act that Congress passed that allowed them to relocate the Native Americans was called the Indian Removal Act. It went in to effect in 1830 when Andrew Jackson was president.
President Jackson was a strong supporter of Indian removal. He believed that it was necessary to relocate Native American tribes to lands west of the Mississippi River in order to make room for white settlers and to secure the sovereignty of the United States. He pushed for the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which led to the forced removal and displacement of thousands of Native Americans, most notably the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears.
Uprooting and moving an entire race of people from their natural homeland is definitely controversial.
Native Americans named people based on what they did in their lives, so we'd have to know you in order to know what to name you.
Andrew Jackson believed that Native American tribes stood in the way of land acquisition by white men. He implemented policies such as the Indian Removal Act, which forcibly relocated Native Americans from their ancestral lands in order to make way for white settlement.
Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 in order to remove Native American nations from their ancestral land and relocate them in less desirable "Indian Territory" (present day Oklahoma) as part of the government's expansionist policies.
The victory of the Colonists over the British in the Revolutionary war was a disaster for the Native Americans. The British promised the Native Americans that the Colonists would not go farther west than they already were, in order to get help from the Native Americans to defeat the French in the French and Indian War. After they won the won, the newly formed USA tore up the treaties and took land from the Native Americans and forced the Native Americans to move farther west or north to Canada.
The goal of the federal government's policy towards Native American Indians was to rid them of land wanted by the U.S. in order to proceed with territorial expansion. They wanted to relocate the Indians to reservations much smaller than where they were now. They started the Indian Removal Act in order to do so.
The American Indian Policy Review Commission of 1975 looked at the history between the Federal Government and the Native Americans, in order to improve future policy, 5 of the 11 commissions were Native Americans themselves. I believe this was a policy put forward by the Federal Government.
No, Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal policy was not motivated by humanitarian impulses. It was primarily driven by his desire to remove Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in order to open up those lands for white settlement and economic gain. This policy eventually led to the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans and resulted in the tragic Trail of Tears.
