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.

One very notable and outspoken opponent of the Indian Removal Act was Davy Crockett. There was also Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, James Madison, OR (emphisis on OR I'm not sure who, but it was one of those three OR this last one) John Marshall. I really hope I helped at least some of you 'cuz i looked up this question for my open book take home test and Davy Crockett was not one of the choices XP
