Trail of Tears

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed by Andrew Jackson to have all of the Indians removed to the land west of the Mississippi River. The act was harsh and it was bad. The land was hard on the Native American’s feet and also the bad climate. Some of the Native Americans didn’t even have shoes on their feet. The settlers needed the land that the Indians use to live on. Many of the Native Americans died of hunger, bad climate, and from being sick and made to walk along time.
