USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The policy goals of the era focused on removing Native Americans from Indian Country and moving them west beyond the Mississippi River. Congress codified this policy officially in 1830 with the passage of the Indian Removal Act. Application of the act displaced thousands of Native Americans from their homes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Native Peoples Lose their Land In the USA, as settlement expanded, the natives were induced or forced to move, after signing treaties selling their land. In this deal, the natives were often cheated by the Americans. Even high officials saw nothing wrong in depriving the natives of their land.

Detailed explanation-3: -Indian removal was the United States government policy of forced displacement of self-governing tribes of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands in the eastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River – specifically, to a designated Indian Territory (roughly, present-day Oklahoma).

Detailed explanation-4: -As a result of the Dawes Act, tribal lands were parceled out into individual plots. Only those Native Americans who accepted the individual plots of land were allowed to become US citizens. The remainder of the land was then sold off to white settlers.
