The group most hurt by Andrew Jackson's removal policy was Native Americans, particularly the Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to territories west of the Mississippi River, resulting in immense suffering, loss of life, and cultural disintegration during events like the Trail of Tears. This policy not only stripped them of their homes but also violated treaties and disregarded their sovereignty.
