The Indian Removal Act forced Native Americans away from their native homes. They were forcibly relocated, sometimes hundreds or thousands of miles away. Some died on the way and all were disenfranchised.

The Indian Removal Act I think tested the relationship with the American government. Because when the five tribes refused to give up their land then president Martin Van Buren forced the Cherokee and other tribes off their land and going 800 miles to a land of their own... the Trail of Tears... many died from bad weather and disease.

As people began to move west they wanted the Native American lands, so the act made it official that the tribes were to be removed. From the very moment of the first colony the European settlers did their best to kill, remove, or displace the Native tribes from their lands. The government made treaties they broke and they forcibly removed people to reservations. The Union army would go into a sleeping village early in the morning and kill men, women, and children. The government policy was a " good Indian was a dead one" and they would do anything to accomplish this task. Read Black Elk Speaks or Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee for further understanding of the genocide that was committed.
