The Indian Removal Act primarily targeted the Cherokee Nation among the Five Civilized Tribes. The Cherokees had adopted many aspects of European-American culture, including a written constitution and a system of agriculture, which made their removal particularly controversial. Their resistance to relocation, exemplified by legal battles like Worcester v. Georgia, highlighted the act's focus on displacing them from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States. Ultimately, this culminated in the tragic Trail of Tears, where thousands were forcibly removed and suffered immense hardships.
States were eager to gain access to lands inhabited by the "Five Civilized Tribes," so they passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830.
The 1830 Indian Removal Act enabled the US to forcibly remove not only the so-called Five Civilized Tribes from their traditional homelands but other tribes as well to Indian Territory, which later became the state of Oklahoma.

Mr. Cambel!
It depends. Some tribes were supported.
The Five Civilized Tribes. These tribes are Choctaw, Seminole, Creek, Chickasaw and Cherokee.
During his presidency, Andrew Jackson dealt with the Five Civilized Tribes, which included the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole nations. These tribes were considered "civilized" because they had adopted certain European-American ways, including agriculture and governance. Jackson's policies, particularly the Indian Removal Act of 1830, led to the forced relocation of these tribes from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River, resulting in significant suffering and loss of life, notably during events like the Trail of Tears.
The native American tribes who were termed "civilized" were the ones who freely gave up and didn't complain or revolt. Those who complained or fought against their land being taken away were called "savages."
He didn’t care about the tribes. His philosophy was the only good Indian was a dead one.
