Indian Removal Act
Andrew Jackson hated the Native Americans and soon created the Indian Removal Act. He forced thousands of Native Americans to move from their homelands and move to Oklahoma. The five big tribes and other small tribes came to Oklahoma. Those big five were The Cherokee, The Chickasaw, The Choctaw, and The Seminole. The path they traveled to soon became know as the "Trail of Tears"
The Nullification Crisis
Andrew Jackson wanted the tariffs to be increased so he can get elected and embarrass John Quincy Adams. Congress approved Jackson's doing with increasing tariffs, so it became reality. After the increase in tariffs was made, the north was happy because their manufactured goods got them more money. But for the south, it was a nightmare. The south was having a hard time earning money, because they relied on north goods which didn't help them as much. So South Carolina stepped into action and became bold to say "We are nullify the tariff of 1828!" Jackson threatened South Carolina to hang John C. Calhoun and bring the army to make them pay for the tariffs! South Carolina stepped out quickly. Then, Henry Clay created The Compromise Tariff of 1833 and congress approved the compromise and lower the stress of the south.

Five big tribes moved to Oklahoma, were their destination was. The Cherokee, The Choctaw, the Chickasaw,
