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 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.
