    The Indian Removal Act was the work of President Andrew Jackson. It allowed the president to take land from the Indian communities within existing state borders and to resettle them to the west of the Mississippi River.

    Explanation:

    The Indian Removal Act was signed into law on May 28, 1830. This was the beginning of the great movement of Indian populations from the Southeast of the United States westward, which is often referred to as the "Trail of Tears." Many resisted the relocation policy like the Cherokee. They tried to fight it through the US courts and won a ruling in their favor by the Supreme Court. However state governments and President Jackson ignored the ruling. In 1838 the United States military combined with state militias made some 15,000 Cherokees to leave under force from their home communities in states like Alabama and Tennessee.
