Andrew Jackson promoted that act.
Explanation:
After the Louisiana Purchase, the territory of the USA doubled. The countless lands offered a revenue for the federal government since in those days no federal tax existed apart from tariffs.
The removal of Indian tribes to the West of the Mississippi river enabled the American population and the federal government to seize a tremendous amount of resources such as gold for instance in the Appalachians.
Jackson just like Jefferson believed that Indians had to be remove in order to make more land and resource available for the American population.
