Indian Removal Act

A Mr.Andrew Jackson acting as president of the United States of America signed this nasty piece of work that ensured all First Nations peoples living west of the river Mississippi could legally (and thus cooly) have their land stolen and deported to either the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) or Kansas. This was one part in a long, slow, painful genocide.
