As more people arrived to America, the need for westward expansion was inevitable. As land-hungry settlers began moving westward, the faced challenge on Native American tribes along the way. Since Indian tribes living there appeared to be the main obstacle to westward expansion, white settlers petitioned the federal government to remove them. Although Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe argued that the Indian tribes in the Southeast should exchange their land for lands west of the Mississippi River, they did not take steps to make this happen.
