Best Answer

The Indian Removal Act. As people began to move west they wanted the Native American lands, so the act made it official that the tribes were to be removed. From the very moment of the first colony the European settlers did their best to kill, remove, or displace the Native tribes from their lands. The government made treaties they broke and they forcibly removed people to reservations. The Union army would go into a sleeping village early in the morning and kill men, women, and children. The government policy was a " good Indian was a dead one" and they would do anything to accomplish this task. Read Black Elk Speaks or Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee for further understanding of the genocide that was committed.

How was Jackson's Force Bill of 1833 connected with slavery?

The Force Bill of 1833, proposed by President Andrew Jackson, was aimed at enforcing federal tariff laws in South Carolina during the nullification crisis. While not directly related to slavery, the nullification crisis itself was influenced by Southern concerns over federal economic policies that were seen as favoring the North and potentially threatening the institution of slavery. The South viewed the tariffs as disproportionately burdensome on their region.
