1. It made the land clear for the White men and women who came over as pilgrims.

2. It made it so that the Indians could have less land disputes.

3. It made it easier for white men to find the Indians for slaves.

4. They Indians would know who was boss.

Now I know this is all kind of bad, but that's what we learned in history class. I am against the Native relocation, but hey, it was 200 years ago, what can we do?

Thats because there aren't any good reasons for removal of native peoples regardless of when or where.

There are no positive reasons.
Unless you are white

Rico is right plus the Supreme Court held that the Indian Removal Act was unconstitutional and made Andrew Jackson drop it.
