Jackson makes the claim that the removal of the 5 Major Native American Tribes and the Trail of Tears that followed was a necessary evil to protect the Natives from impending slaughter as white civilization would continue to take their land. Essentially, Jackson rationalizes the Trail of Tears by claiming the removal of the Indian Nations was the only way to save them from slaughter.
The Indian Removal Act, intended to relocate Native American tribes who were living south of the Mississippi River, was signed into law by Democrat Andrew Jackson on May 26, 1830.
The Trail of Tears resulted from President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Policy. It was prompted by the settlers to expand into land belonging to the five tribes.

The biggest supporters of the Indian Removal Act policies during President Andrew Jackson's administration included southern planters and land speculators who sought to acquire fertile lands occupied by Native American tribes. Additionally, many white settlers favored the removal as it cleared the way for westward expansion and economic opportunities. Jackson himself championed these policies, promoting the idea of Manifest Destiny and arguing that it was in the best interest of both settlers and Native Americans, despite the devastating consequences for the tribes involved.
Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act shortly after he took office. That law allowed him to negotiate the removal of Indians to across the Mississippi. He used it to illegally move tribes. The Cherokees were but one of those tribes

The Indian Removal Act did not state that the Indian Had to go west of the Mississippi. The Act actually gave the President the right to negotiate with the tribes their removal to west of the mississippi. The tribes would first have to agree to this. Jackson broke this law and forced the removal of several tribes.
The Indian Removal Act was a law passed during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. It lead to the transplantation of several Indian tribes and the Trail of Tears.
President Andrew Jackson was able to begin the forcible removal of the Five Civilized Tribes due to the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, which he strongly supported. This legislation authorized the federal government to negotiate treaties for the relocation of Native American tribes to lands west of the Mississippi River. Jackson's determination to expand U.S. territory and promote agricultural development in the Southeast further motivated the implementation of this policy, despite significant opposition and legal challenges from Native Americans and their allies.
