THE NORTH WASN'T WHERE MOST OF THE INDIANS WERE MOST INDIANS WERE IN THE SOUTH AND WEST. YET AFTER THE CIVIL WAR THE NORTH WAS STARTING TO THINK THE SAME THING AND REMOVING THE INDIANS. THE NORTH WASN'T BOTHERED BY INDIANS THE SOUTH WAS, BECAUSE THE SOUTH WAS TAKING THEIR LAND AND CULTIVATING IT SO THE INDIANS WERE STARTING TO FIGHT BACK PLUS THE SOUTH WAS MAD CAUSE THE NORTH WOULDN'T HELP KEEP THE INDIANS OUT.

The north and south were both generally in favor of Indian removal. People wanted to go west and farm new land. Perhaps you misunderstood your teacher. I think you should ask him or her about this.

And there was more Indian land in the South, so removing them would give the Southerners more land.

The "north" and "south" played no part in indian removal. It was the US as a whole, regions played no specific part in it.
