Best Answer

The relocation of Native Americans, including Cherokee and Seminole tribes, took place under the Indian Relocation Act of 1830. The forced migration to areas west of the Mississippi lasted from 1830 to 1850. The major movement of Cherokees (to which the term Trail of Tears was first applied) was from 1836 to 1839, primarily in 1838.

"We have been taught the Trail of Tears started in Georgia and ended in Oklahoma but it began when the first sail was spotted off the coast and still continues to this day." -Adonaset [Seminole]
