During the Jackson presidency, some Native Americans were forced to leave their homeland and move westward. This is primarily associated with the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which led to the forced relocation of numerous Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, a tragic event known as the "Trail of Tears."
