During the Jackson presidency, many Native Americans were forced to leave their homeland and move westward. This policy was primarily enacted through the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which led to the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to designated "Indian Territory" west of the Mississippi River. This process is most famously exemplified by the Trail of Tears, during which thousands of Native Americans suffered from harsh conditions, disease, and death during the forced marches to their new lands.
