The event that led to an increase in troops at military outposts in the 1830s is the Indian Removal Act. This act, passed in 1830, authorized the forced removal of Native American tribes from their homelands in the southeastern United States to designated "Indian Territory" west of the Mississippi River, which necessitated increased military presence to enforce the removals and maintain order.
