The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was the legislation that led to the Trail of Tears. This act authorized the forced relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to designated territories west of the Mississippi River. The implementation of this policy resulted in the suffering and death of thousands of Native Americans during the arduous journey, known as the Trail of Tears.
