Question

The ___ gave President Jackson the right to negotiate with the Indians for their removal from the eastern United States

Answer 1

Answer:

Indian Removal Act

Explanation:

The Indian Removal Act was a law enacted by President Andrew Jackson. Although this was sanctioned with the claim that it would protect Native Americans, it did allow the president to expel natives located east of the Mississippi River and compel them to live in the west of that same river. It was through this law that the state of Oklahoma was created and served as a settlement for several different indigenous peoples, who had their lands stolen by the government. However, some indigenous wheat had their removal negotiated, but the majority were compulsorily withdrawn.
