Why were the cherkees moved?

I assume you are referring to the Cherokees, who were a tribe of what were then called "Indians." Sadly, as the United States grew and expanded, a number of Americans believed that they had a right to the land inhabited by the Indians, and many tribes were forcibly moved, often relocated to reservations under brutal conditions. In 1838, residents of Georgia decided they wanted the land the Cherokees occupied. In the event known today as the "Trail of Tears," the Georgia Cherokees were driven from their land and forced to march nearly 1000 miles to their new home in Oklahoma. It was a very arduous journey, and many of the Cherokees died along the way.

Were the Cherokees Indians involved in any wars or battles?

The Cherokees were victims of European settlers. In the early part of the 19th century they were forced from Georgia to the Oklahoma Territory. Perhaps the most significant war they fought was with other Native Tribes at the US Civil War Battle of Pea Ridge. They sided with the Confederates.
