What were two factors that led to president Jackson's decision to sign the Indian removal act?

Two key factors that led President Andrew Jackson to sign the Indian Removal Act were the desire for westward expansion and economic interests in land. Jackson believed that moving Native American tribes to lands west of the Mississippi River would facilitate the growth of agriculture and settlement by American farmers, particularly in the southern states. Additionally, there was widespread support among white settlers who wanted access to fertile lands previously occupied by Native Americans, which further pressured Jackson to take action.
