Why was the Indian removal act needed?

Answer 1

Because the state of Georgia needed to become a part of the union, the government had to remove the Indians from Georgia in order to make this possible. There were too many settlers moving to the United States, and Georgia had enough land to fit them. If the Indians stayed in Georgia, the settlers would have nowhere to go and it would have a severe impact on America's expansion. On the flipside though, it took away thousands of acres of land from the Indians and sparked a long dispute between the two groups of people.
