Stephen Long explored the new land and thought it was worthless and like a desert. He then declared it as "The Great American Desert".

Jackson's Speech was about the idea to move the American Indians to the "bad" land and and take their good land for their use. The American Indians didn't like this idea, but the US had better weapons so they had no choice.
America moved the American Indians east to the "bad" land and took their good land. The trail they took was later named the "Trail of Tears" as many tears were shed from sadness and despair. A lot of American Indians died when moving westward.
