ugh. someone edited the main page, please retype the facts... 67.86.27.20 23:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
According to the LOC, it was signed on 5/28. That would be the date it became law. http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Indian.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.43.24 ( talk) 15:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
This article is not presented from a neutral point of view. Saying that the Indian Removal Act "was a racist act" does not meet the standard for neutrality. Jrsightes ( talk) 16:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
The statement "All Indians who had adopted a civilized behavior could remain east of the Mississippi," is not neutral, not to mention that the tribes in question were referred to as "The Five Civilized Tribes." Wiktionary defines civilized as follows: 1. Having a highly developed society or culture. 2. Showing evidence of moral and intellectual advancement; humane, reasonable, ethical. This includes the Tribes here. I am not experienced in editing, nor am I a subject maven, so it would be good, I think, if someone good deal with this issue.

This article should give a legality aspect that President Jackson went through. Through the 1870s, there was a great controversy if Jackson had the authority to pass an act within a state. My legality section that i'm pitching is supported by Ethan Davis and his article “An Administrative Trail of Tears: Indian Removal.” This article explains if the act was constitution for the President to pass or if it was out of his power to do so.

Choosing the right term to refer to an entire racial category has always been a Controversial topic. Especially in the case regarding North America, foreign settlers necessitated a term to refer to a broad spectrum of people that may or may not have had a cultural use for it. It's mainly an English exonym.
The current acceptable term is Native American. The debated other is American Indian. Simply using Indian is typically regarded as foolish and improper because it is already used to refer to the Indian people from India.
I suggest changing any reference to the indigenous racial groups of North America to Native American. Of course It's acceptable to refer to the "Indian Removal Act" in title and in reference to it's content as it is historical, but any contextual reference to the Native American racial group past or present, outside of the content of the "Indian Removal Act" legislation is not only inaccurate, but could be regarded as a veiled racial slander.
I apologize for editing this page with out a proper discussion first, but unless there is a reasonable objection in the next few days, I will revert the reversion from Jason from nyc. Cscawley ( talk) 19:41, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

The Supreme Court declared this law unconstitutional (Chief Justice John Marshall). The President ignored that (and should have been impeached and removed from office for it). Why isn't that mentioned in the article? Gerard von Hebel ( talk) 18:40, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
I just found this article because it's on the Wikipedia front page.
From my first impressions, I am really quite appalled at the way this article is written.
But that is how history is written, whoever wins (ie is left) records history.
Compare the language of this article to the one used in the one about Nazi Germany's dream of settling Europe when it won WWII: Lebensraum, therein lies the problem.

We've got a person, or multiple people, vandalizing the page with no apparent agenda beyond forcing real editors to waste time and energy on monitoring and reverting. It's been going on for a while now. Perhaps this page ought to be semi-protected? -- ShorinBJ ( talk) 03:52, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Someone posted a "your mom" edit on the top of the page that I've been trying so hard for the past 15 minutes to edit out, but I couldn't find it in the edit tool. This may be done in some weird code that I have no knowledge with. Could somebody fix this? Thanks in advance! SkyFlubbler ( talk) 04:33, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
