The purpose of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, signed by American President Jackson, was D. to remove all Native-Americans west of the Mississippi River. The Act authorized Jackson to grant Indian tribes unsettled western prairie land in exchange for their ancestral homelands in the Southern states, so white settlers could use the valuable land.

The act was not a form of negotiation with Native Americans (consisting of mainly Cherokees tribe's members) instead, it obliged them to relocate in the territory west of the Mississippi River. And when they refused to relocate, the military used force to move them.
