Question 3 • SSHS IUS002 US History II

What was the main purpose of the Indian Removal Act of 1830?

Answer
A
to remove all Native-Americans to the Texas-Mexico border
B
to remove all Native-Americans to reservations above the Mason Dixon line
C
to remove all Native-Americans to a large reservation in Georgia
D
to remove all Native-Americans west of the Mississippi River

Explanation

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized the U.S. government to move Native American nations living east of the Mississippi River to lands farther west. Its main purpose was therefore removal west of the Mississippi, not relocation to one reservation in Georgia or to areas north or south of the United States.
