The correct answers are A) Seminole and B) Cherokee.

The Native American groups attempted to resist the Indian Removal Act were the Seminole and the Cherokee.

On May 28, 1830, the Indian Removal Act was signed by President Andrew Jackson. This act allowed the President of the United States to grant lands that were not settled in the Western territories of the Mississippi. Seminole and Cherokee tribes resisted the decision. For instance, the Cherokee were forced to leave their lands in what is known as the "trail of tears," where almost 4000 Indians died.
