If you are referring to the forced relocation in 1837, commonly referred to as the Trail of Tears, President Andrew Jackson wanted the land owned by the Cherokee for white settlements and farms. The easiest way to acheive that was to remove them and have them relocated to land no one else wanted at the time.
