Ignoring the Supreme Court's decisions in favor of the Indians, and yielding to the pressure from Americans in the area, President Jackson ordered the army to round up the Indians in the area and move them to the Indian Territories in the west. During the winter of 1838-39, 14,000 Indians were marched through Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. About 4,000 died along the route, from hunger, disease, and exposure. Some Indians avoided being rounded up and hid in the mountains of North Carolina. Their descendants made up today's Cherokee Nation.

The Cherokee remembered the march as the "trail where they cried," referring to Cherokee and other tribe members who suffered on the march. History has recorded the event as The Trail of Tears.
