Americans wanted Native Americans to move west of the Mississippi River primarily to access and settle the fertile lands in the east for agriculture and development. The U.S. government and settlers viewed this westward expansion as essential for economic growth and the spread of American culture. Additionally, removing Native Americans was seen as a way to reduce conflicts and tensions over land ownership and resources. This policy culminated in forced relocations, such as the Trail of Tears, which had devastating effects on indigenous populations.
