Cherokees are usual residents of Georgia,Virginia,Kentucky,Tennessee,and North & South Carolina. Most Cherokees were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1800's along the "Trail of Tears."
The Cherokee name for their forced journey west was the Trail of Tears.
they were forced out and had to walk or be killed by the British. it was called the trail of tears.
Gold was discovered on cherokee land.
The Cherokees were led west during the Trail of Tears primarily by their chief, John Ross. He played a crucial role in resisting the forced removal and advocating for the rights of the Cherokee people. Despite his efforts, the U.S. government enforced the Indian Removal Act, leading to the tragic journey in 1838-1839, where thousands of Cherokees faced immense suffering and loss.
