Indian Removal Act was a law passed in 1830 under President Andrew Jackson which authorized president to negotiate with Native Americans in Southern states for removal to federal territory west of Mississippi river after getting paid for their lands. Although legally the removal had to be voluntary, it was used to coerce Native Americans to agree to removal. This even led to war between Americans and Seminoles. The war is called The second Seminole war.

Because Africans were strangers to the Americans, so they wouldn't have allies or places to hide. Additionally, the Native Americans had much weaker immune systems than Africans because Africans had developed around the same livestock that Europeans had. This made the Africans more disease resistant. Africans were also able to put up with muich more abuse, on average, than Native Americans without fainting or dying.

The Indian Removal Act did not state that the Indian Had to go west of the Mississippi. The Act actually gave the President the right to negotiate with the tribes their removal to west of the mississippi. The tribes would first have to agree to this. Jackson broke this law and forced the removal of several tribes.
All Indian tribes east of the Mississippi river were sent west of the Mississippi.
The result of the Indian Removal Act was that it allowed the President to remove Native Americans from their homelands. In return for the land they lost, the Native Americans would receive land in the Indian Territory, which is now the state of Oklahoma. by Mikayla Gear: > Native Americans were moved to lands west of the Mississippi River.
