Oh, thank you, I had to infer from my text!

You're welcome. And congrats on your correct inference.

Yes, answer choice C is correct. The Indian Removal Act, signed into law by President Andrew Jackson in 1830, made the acquisition of Native American lands by Americans legal. This law gave the United States government the authority to negotiate treaties with Native tribes for their removal from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States, primarily to areas west of the Mississippi River. This act had a profound impact on both the Native American tribes and the United States as a whole.
