Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act shortly after he took office. That law allowed him to negotiate the removal of Indians to across the Mississippi. He used it to illegally move tribes. The Cherokees were but one of those tribes
Many Native tribes were forced to move from Georgia and other parts of the South to the area west of the Mississippi River designated as the Indian Territory as a result of Andrew Jackson's policies. Some of the tribes included the Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw, and this event is now known as the Trail of Tears for the vast fatalities suffered.
andrew Jackson and the united states government forced the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, creek, and Seminole tribes (also known as the five civilized tribes) to leave their homeland to move west of the mississippi river.
He moved the Indians to what is now Oklahoma, which is known as Indian territory
He believed it was inevitable that they would lose their land.
the Indian Removal Act
Enacted by President Andrew Jackson in 1830, it was meant to encourage/assist/force member of the "five civilized tribes" from eastern states, particularly Georgia, to move west into the "Indian Territory", now Oklahoma. This act led to the Trail of Tears and more atrocities. the trail of tears was from 1830-1838
when the south native americans were forced to leave there land and had to move western. this was because of priesident andrew jackson signing a law in may 26, 1830. this effected the cherokee, chickasaw, choctaw,creek and seminole tribes.
There is only one reason Native American tribes lost their lands in the early 1800's, the betrayal of president Andrew Jackson and his desire to move them elsewhere. See the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
The Indian Removal Act was signed by Andrew Jackson in 1830. This gave the government the right to remove the Eastern tribes and give them lands in the west "forever." Interestingly, it referred to this forced removal as an exchange. The eastern Indians were promised land in the west without regard to the tribes already in the regions, nor the fact that the lands were far different from what the eastern tribes were used to.
