Bill No. 287 was "A bill to provide for the removal of the Indian tribes within any of the states and territories, and for their permanent settlement west of the river Mississippi."--p. 31-32. The bill, known as The Indian Removal Act of 1830, was supported by President Andrew Jackson, white southerners and some state governments, particularly Georgia. Jackson signed it into law on May 28, 1830. As a result, more than 60,000 Native Americans from 18 tribes were forcibly removed from their homes in an act of state-sponsored ethnic cleansing and suffered a dangerous journey westward which became known as the Trail of Tears.

At head of title: 21st Congress, 1st session. [Rep. no. 227.] Ho. of Reps. Duff Green was printer to the House during the 21st Congress, 1st session.
