The American population was growing and there was pressure to remove Native American tribes from their lands to make room for settlers. Andrew Jackson negotiated many treaties to acquire tribal lands. In 1830, President Jackson proposed the Indian Removal Act, which forcibly relocated Eastern tribes to lands west of the Mississippi. Despite legal challenges, Jackson refused to uphold tribal land rights. The removals had devastating impacts, with thousands of Native Americans dying as they were forced from their homelands to make way for American expansion.
