I wouldn't say the event influenced the country because it is a shameful. The government policy was to remove Native Americans from ancestral lands and put them on reservations. President Jackson signed a law called the Indian Removal Act because people wanted the lands promised to the tribes in various treaties. The Cherokee nation was walked from Georgia to Oklahoma and children, elderly, men, women, babies died of disease , starved to death, and were left in the snow.
