Detailed explanation-1: -It gave the president power to negotiate removal treaties with Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi. Under these treaties, the Indians were to give up their lands east of the Mississippi in exchange for lands to the west. Those wishing to remain in the east would become citizens of their home state.
Detailed explanation-2: -The goal was to remove all American Indians living in existing states and territories and send them to unsettled land in the west.
