The Indian Removal Act of 1830 resulted in many deaths of the Indians for reasons such as wars, lack of resources, and just from nature itself. Passed by Andrew Jackson, this cruel act was put in place to allow the federal government to give the unsettled land (west of the Mississippi River) to the Indians, while simultaneously taking over their native land.
The Battle of Horse Shoe Bend took place in 1814 because Major General Andrew Jackson demanded that the Creek Indians surrender their land. This encounter demolished the Creek’s military and forced what was left of them to submit millions of acres of land through a treaty. Other tribes, such as Cherokee, Chicksaw, and Choctaw, came to realize that their military power was not strong enough
