Consequences+of+Manifest+Destiny

One of the major consequences of Manifest Destiny was the removal of Native Americans. Manifest Destiny meant that Native American land would be expanded on. After the Louisana Purchase of 1803 it was expected that all Native Americans move across the Mississippi River to maintain a seperate society from Americans. But as the United States looked to expand past the Mississippi border it left living space for Native Americans to be in question. On May 26, 1830, the Indian Removal Act became a law signed by President Andrew Jackson.
