It seems that the map below is missing and I cannot review it. However, I can still provide a general review of the factors that contributed to the passage of the Indian Removal Act and the forced migration of the American Indian people.
The westward expansion of the United States played a significant role in the forced migration of American Indian people. As American settlers moved further west, conflicts between settlers and Native American tribes increased. The desire for more land and resources by the expanding United States led to the displacement and removal of many Native American tribes from their ancestral lands.
The executive authority established under George Washington also had an impact on the forced migration. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson, who supported the policy of Indian removal. This act allowed the federal government to negotiate treaties with tribes, with the goal of relocating them to designated "Indian Territory" in present-day Oklahoma.
While the ongoing conflict with Mexico did not directly contribute to the passage of the Indian Removal Act, it is important to note that it occurred around the same time period. The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) resulted in the United States acquiring additional land in the southwest, which further pushed Native American tribes out of their territories.
The Dust Bowl, which refers to a severe drought and soil erosion in the Great Plains during the 1930s, does not directly relate to the passage of the Indian Removal Act. While the Dust Bowl had devastating effects on the American Indian population living in that region, the Indian Removal Act and forced migration occurred much earlier in the 1830s.
