The Indian Removal Act was a piece of legislation in the United States that was signed fewer than fifty winters before Spring 1880 after five Native American tribes including the Seminole were defeated in battle by the Anglos in the Southern United States. It forced the tribes to be driven westward to the Indian Territory. Thousands of them died to cold, disease and hunger during the months-long march, which became known as the Trail of Tears.
