Answer:

Take land from Native Americans and to give them land from the Louisiana Purchase is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrew Jackson, the then President of the United States signed the Indian Removal Act into law on 28th May 1830. The act empowered the president to settle with southern Native American societies for their deportation to national territory west of River Mississippi in exchange for white settlement of their hereditary properties.
