What were the conditions of the Indian Removal Act?

Although they were promised lands and protection from surrounding Native Americans, this promise was broken, and the lands were eventually reclaimed by White people following the Dawes Act of 1882 and the Land Rush of 1889.

For what reason did Andrew Jackson back the 1830 Indian Removal Act?
