Question

What did the Indian removal act allow for

Answer 1

The Indian Removal Act, passed by Congress in 1830, allowed the federal government to negotiate with Native American tribes to remove them from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River. This resulted in the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans, primarily from the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole tribes, to areas in present-day Oklahoma, known as the Indian Territory.
