The law was pushed (and passed) by the Democratic Party especially by then Democrat President Andrew Jackson, who had in his days as a soldier been an Indian fighter. Jackson(D) was already notorious for his actions in the Creek Civil War (1813-1814) where after putting down the rebelling "Red Stick" faction of Creek Indians, Jackson forced both rebelling Creeks and his own allied Creeks onto a reservation. Many Creeks escaped this forced deportation to join the then fledgeling Seminoles band not officially recogized as an Indian Nation until the 1950s.
To date, the Democratic Party has never apologized for passing legislation that forced so many Americans away from their ancestrial homes and into deplorable conditions.
