It was the disastrous pieces of Indian law ever passed by Congress. Now the question arises, were the Native Americans happy about it?  The answer is, no they were not pleased with it. The treatment towards the Native American by the American has been hostile, which led many Indians to die in raids, wars, and diseases.
