Indian Removal Act passed

On May 28, 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed into law the Indian Removal Act. The Act authorized Johnson to exchange federal lands in the West for Indian lands in the American Southeast. While some tribes gave up their lands peacefully, others resisted. The "Trail of Tears" killed approximately 4,000 Cherokees in a forced march into the West.

Learn more about the Indian Removal Act from the U.S. Library of Congress.
