The information shared on this page is a video clip and picture of President Andrew Jackson, a picture of President Thomas Jefferson, and the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and a map. It was treaties, just like this one, that gave President Jackson the power he needed to get the Indian tribes to give up their lands east of the Mississippi River in exchange for lands in the west. As shown by the map, the five tribes were relocated to Indian Territory in present day Oklahoma.





The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was enforced because of a combination of events that included treaties from President Andrew Jackson, deceit, gold, greed, pressure from white settlers, and compliance of the government to that pressure from white settlers, who migrated to Indian territories and wanted the land.
