Question:
Section 1 of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 states that the President may divide land west of the Mississippi River into parcels "for the reception of such tribes or nations of Indians as may choose to exchange lands where they now reside, and to remove there... ." This language can be reasonably read to intend that there be a voluntary exchange of land with the Southeastern Native American tribes. Do you think that the removal process proved to be voluntary or coerced? If the latter, was President Jackson abusing his presidential powers in his administration of this removal act? Feel free to research this issue and argue from the results of this research.
