Answer:

Some American Indian tribes unsuccessfully went to war to block the removal.
Explanation:
The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was an act implemented by the government of the United States that ordered the removal of the Native American Indians from their lands and to move to the west part of the nation. This Act, most strongly carried out by President Andrew Jackson, was done with the objective of "civilizing" the natives and making them compatible with the European Americans settling there and also to give more lands for European settlements.
While this Act was accepted by some tribes of Indians (though with some terms of their own), many tribes refused to give up their ancestral lands for the Americans/ Whites. They fought many resistance wars, trying to oppose and stop the government, though unsuccessful. The most famous of this forced removal was known as the "Trail of Tears", which also resulted in the deaths of many American Indians throughout the journey.
