On May 28 1830,President Andrew Jackson just signed the Indian Removal bill.The bill authorizes the president to grant unsettled lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for the Indian lands within existing state borders. |

| We must make America great again by adding more land. The land next to the Mississippi River will benefit us the most. | |

During the fall winter of 1838 and 1839, the Cherokees were forcibly moved west by the United States government |
|
| Excues me sir,based on this bill.It says you and your people are no longer welcome here. | |

Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as the "Trail of Tears." |
