This policy, championed by President [Andrew Jackson](/wiki/andrew_jackson) and primarily motivated by the demand for land for cotton cultivation and gold discovery, forcibly displaced thousands. This drive for territorial expansion was deeply rooted in the concept of [Manifest Destiny](/wiki/manifest_destiny). Key tribes affected included the [Cherokee](/wiki/cherokee), [Choctaw](/wiki/choctaw), [Chickasaw](/wiki/chickasaw), [Creek](/wiki/creek), and [Seminole](/wiki/seminole) nations. Despite legal challenges, such as the [Cherokee Nation](/wiki/cherokee_nation)'s case in [Worcester v. Georgia](/wiki/worcester_v_georgia) before the [Supreme Court](/wiki/supreme_court), the Act's implementation led to the forced removal of an estimated 60,000 [Native Americans](/wiki/native_americans). The most tragic consequence was the [Trail of Tears](/wiki/trail_of_tears).
