What act passed in 1830 led to the forced relocation of Native American tribes from the southeastern U.S.?

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 is the correct answer because it was specifically designed to facilitate the displacement of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States. This act authorized the federal government to negotiate treaties that would require Native American tribes to relocate to designated territories west of the Mississippi River. The legislation was a response to the desires of many American settlers for new land, particularly for agriculture in the fertile regions occupied by tribes such as the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, and Choctaw.

The act led to the infamous Trail of Tears, during which thousands of Native Americans were forcibly removed from their lands, resulting in severe suffering and a significant loss of life. The Indian Removal Act symbolizes a broader policy of the United States government towards Native peoples during the 19th century, reflecting an era of expansionism and a disregard for the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous nations.

Other answer choices do not accurately reflect historical legislation; for example, the "Indian Resettlement Act," "Tribal Displacement Act," and "Native American Removal Act" are not recognized acts within U.S. history and do not correspond to any specific legislation that enacted the policies associated with the forced relocation of Native Americans.
