No. The Cherokee were forced out by US soldiers after the government passed the Indian Removal Act in 1837.
The government created and enforced many "trails of tears". The one that history records made most famous was that of the Cherokee. Forced to walk thousands of miles from Georgia to Oklahoma, four thousand Indians are thought to have died. This removal was against the findings of the Supreme Court of the United States who said the Cherokee would have to agree with the removal. They never did.
Hi
The Native people (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole) in the Indian removal act of 1830 came from the southeastern states (Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina) of the United States.
In response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v Georgia that Georgia had no right to interfere with the Cherokee, President Jackson disregarded the decision and removal of the Cherokee proceeded as planned.
The Cherokee name for their forced journey west was the Trail of Tears.
