According to historians interpretations, Native Americans were the big losers of the war. They were dreaming to create an Indian state as a British protectorate and as a consequence of the war, they had to abandon that dream at the same time that the resistance of native tribes in the western and southern borders was suppressed. Years later, President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, signed into law the Indian Removal Act authorizing the president to grant unsettled lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian original territory.
