The primary factor that contributed to the passage of the Indian Removal Act and the forced migration of American Indian people was the westward expansion of the United States. As settlers moved westward in search of land and resources, they sought to displace Native American tribes, leading to policies that facilitated their removal from ancestral lands. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was specifically enacted to allow for this displacement, resulting in the forced relocation of many tribes, notably through the Trail of Tears.
