US President Andrew Jackson oversaw the policy of "Indian removal," which was formalized when he signed the Indian Removal Act in May 1830. The Indian Removal Act authorized a series of migrations that became known as the Trail of Tears. This was devastating to Native Americans, their culture, and their way of life.
