  • Indians had to give up their land east of the Mississippi River.
  • They had to go to what is now Oklahoma.
  • Many died of starvation, diseases, and exhalation.
  • Indians sued to stay on their land, and the US Supreme Court ruled in the Indians' favor but Andrew Jackson ignored it and made them leave anyway.

One interesting fact about the Trails of Tears is that John Ross was the chief of the Cherokee Indians, who were about 90 percent of the people moved from Georgia to Oklahoma, led by soldiers for nearly 1000 miles.
