Indian Removal Act of 1830

- Government and military officials were sent to force and travel with the Native Americans who had refused to leave
- The plan was to send them to the newly claimed “Indian Territory” which would later become modern-day Oklahoma
- The Native Americans and officials would take several different routes to their new homes.- Each of these routes would become part of “The Trail
of Tears”
