I'm honestly not sure.. That is the exact wording of the question on my paper. We are learning about Manifest Destiny, so I think it is the Indian Relocation Act.. But don't you mean 1856 or am I wrong lol?

okay so president Andrew Jackson signed this into law on May 28 1830 it was basically an act that allowed the exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the states or territories and for their removal west of the river Mississippi. It gave the federal government the power to force the relocation of any Native American Indians, living in the east of the country, to territory that was west of the Mississippi River.
