The Indian Removal Act pushed for and signed by Andrew Jackson(D), allowed him to negotiate the removal of Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi. At that time, it was thought that America would never expand beyond the Mississippi. Jackson used that Act to forcibly remove the Cherokee from their lands, illegally. It was one of many Trails of Tears.
