The Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized the federal government to negotiate treaties with Native American tribes to relocate them from their ancestral lands east of the Mississippi River to designated territories in the west. This act facilitated the forced removal of thousands of Native Americans, most notably leading to the infamous Trail of Tears. The legislation aimed to open up land for white settlers and expand agricultural development in the southeastern United States.
