The Cherokee Indians were forced to move starting in June of 1830 and lasting until the following winter in 1831. They marched all day long in all types of weather. They had little food and very little sleep. Many members of the tribe died of disease or famine. Most of the Cherokee Nation was located in Georgia at this time. They were marched to Oklahoma and then some were marched all the way to Florida.
The final phase of the Indian removal plan was the removal of the Cherokees. The Indian Removal Act was a law passed by Congress during Andrew Jackson presidency on May 28, 1830.
