The Act was supposed to create the opportunity for white settlers to pay the Indians for their land through negotiation, but it became a clear demonstration of discrimination once the government began to forcibly remove Indians from their homes. The Trails of Tears is used to name journeys that the displaced Indians would take, which were often more than a thousand miles. The government provided limited supplies such as food, water, horses, and wagons. The Choctaw Indians were forced to march, among them being elders on the verge of death, ill, and newborns. More than 10,000 Cherokes were displaced, several hundred died while marching. Those who did not die from the journey experienced death from malnutrition and disease after being exposed to the new land. The nullification crisis happened because of taxes created to protect the Mid-Atlantic and western states from foreign competition but left the southern states unprotected. The high tariffs negatively impacted the economy of the south, causing many southerners to become unhappy. South Carolina adopted the Ordinance of Nullification declaring tariffs as void; the state did not permit the collection of these taxes in South Carolina. If Congress decided to attack South Carolina in any way, they would secede from the Union. Andrew Jackson agreed to the Compromise of 1833
