In 1830, Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This allowed America to seize Native American land and relocate those Native Americans westward. The terms of this relocation were supposed to be fair, but the President and others ignored them. They forced Native Americans to move West. The Native Americans experienced disease and famine during the move, and they were frequently robbed by White Settlers. This is why it was called the "Trail of Tears".

Push Factors applies because there was a large push factor in the Trail Of Tears. The biggest push factor was White Settlers. They were constantly clashing with Native Americans and they ultimately forced them to migrate.

Pull factors have an interesting relation with the Trail of Tears. There were not many pull factors making Native Americans want to leave their native lands, but they were forced to move anyway. The only draw to the west was the escape from White Settlers.

Immigration laws have a factor in this migration event. Although there wasn’t a specific law making Native Americans move, the law was used to justify the moving of Native Americans from their homes.
