Best Answer

The native Americans had to leave their home land for several reasons. As the urge to full fill the American dream of Manifest Density, more and more white settlers searched for new land. The land they found was occupied by natives. There was always conflict between white settlers and natives. When Andrew Jackson came to president, he issued the Indian Removal Act. What that did was removed all natives living on the east of the Mississippi to move to the west side on reservations. This move was also known as the Tear of Trials. There was also a series of "wars" between settlers and the remaining native nations.
