They were forced out because president Jackson wanted more land and gold, and passed the Indian Removal Act. Some Indians signed the bill, while others were forced out. It wasn't because they were weak.

What was the controversy over the transcontinental railroad?

White Americans justified the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad with the concept of Manifest Destiny. They believed that the United States was meant to control as much land as possible. To accomplish this, the country must first stretch "from sea to shining sea." A railroad that spanned the entire nation would help to achieve this goal. However, to get the land for a railroad, Native American rights to territory had to be taken away as quickly as possibly to make way for construction.
