Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act just a few months after taking office. It gave him the ability to negotiate with tribes to remove them to west of the Mississippi. During that time it was believed that America would never expand that far. However, what it did was cause forcible removals of many tribes and the subsequent deaths of thousands of Indians.
