To get Indigenous people to leave the region, states in the South passed laws to

It seems like you didn't provide a complete question. However, I can tell you that during the 19th century, many Southern states in the U.S. passed laws and enacted policies aimed at removing Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands. This was often done to make way for white settlers and the expansion of agricultural enterprises, particularly cotton farming. Here's a general step-by-step of how this process often worked:

1. States passed laws that undermined the sovereignty of Indigenous nations, often ignoring federal treaties and laws that were supposed to protect Indigenous rights.

2. These laws often made it illegal for Indigenous peoples to live in certain areas, or they imposed harsh conditions that made it difficult for Indigenous peoples to continue their traditional ways of life.

3. In many cases, states used force or the threat of force to remove Indigenous peoples from their lands. This often involved the U.S. military.

4. Indigenous peoples were then forced to move to new lands, often in the West, that were designated as "Indian Territory." These lands were often far from their ancestral homes and were not as suitable for their traditional ways of life.

5. This process of forced removal is now known as the Trail of Tears, and it resulted in the death and suffering of thousands of Indigenous people.
