The law allowed allowed the President to give unsettled land West of the Mississippi for Native Americans in exchange for the traditional lands of the Native Americans. A few tribes went peacefully. Most tribes resisted though and were brutally forced to leave. Andrew Jackson and his successor Martin Van Buren displaced about 60,000 Natives from at least 18 different tribes.
