President Andrew Jackson was the official who approved of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. There were five major tribes: the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole.

When did the native American removal end?
Hard to pin down really. The largest forced removal was of the Southeastern tribes (Cherokee, Creek, et al) in the 1830's "Trail of Tears." Despite a Supreme Court decision that allowed them to stay where they were, Present Andrew Jackson ignored the decision and ordered the Army to move them west into Oklahoma Territory. After that, most Indian removal was really a matter of Indian being told they could stay on certain portions of their land and then having the US Government go back on the promises when they wanted the land for whites. This trended to push the Indians into smaller and smaller pockets of territory (reservations). Many tribes rebelled against this treatment from the mid 1800's to the end of the century. The last Battle of these Indian Wars was at Wounded Knee in 1890. This was not really a battle, since the US troops simply attacked an Indian camp with warning one morning and killed everyone in sight including women and children.

How did John Ross argue against the removal of the Cherokees?
He lobbied against the passage of the Indian Removal Act and gained the support of some prominent Whigs, but it passed. He filed suit in the Supreme Court against the state of Georgia in protest of state laws that punished the Cherokee. The Court ruled that state laws did not apply to Indian affairs but that did not help the Cherokee where federal law was concerned. He tried to get a treaty approved that would delay the removal of the Cherokee but another faction in the Cherokee nation signed a different treaty that agreed to the removal.
