The famous Tennessee Congressman who protested the Indian Removal Act was Davy Crockett. Known for his role as a frontiersman and folk hero, Crockett opposed the Act due to his belief in the rights of Native Americans and the moral implications of forced removal. His stance set him apart from many of his contemporaries, and he became an enduring symbol of resistance against unjust policies.
In 1830 the Congress of the United States passed the "Indian Removal Act." Although many Americans were against the act, most notably Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett, it passed anyway.
The Native people (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole) in the Indian removal act of 1830 came from the southeastern states (Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina) of the United States.
