The U.S. government forced the Cherokee to move west and give up their land primarily due to the desire for expansion and access to valuable resources, particularly gold found in Georgia. This was facilitated by the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to relocate Native American tribes to designated territories west of the Mississippi River. The government viewed this as a means to promote settlement and development by white Americans, often disregarding the rights and treaties established with the Cherokee. The resulting forced relocation, known as the Trail of Tears, led to significant suffering and loss of life among the Cherokee people.
