What was the difference between the Indian removal act and the Trail of Tears?

Answer 1

The Indian Removal Act was an act in which Andrew Jackson forced all of the Native American Indian tribes to move west of the Mississippi so that all their land would be taken by gov't or people living in that region. The difference between that and the Trail of Tears was that the trail of tears was mainly a large amount of deaths involving Native American Indians traveling from East to west to reach west of the mississippi in which it is called the trail of tears because of how many Native American Indians died because of Jackson's Indian Removal Policy.
