The Cherokee were removed primarily due to the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to open up their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States for white settlers seeking land for agriculture, particularly cotton cultivation. This led to the forced relocation of the Cherokee and other tribes, culminating in the tragic Trail of Tears in 1838-1839, where thousands suffered from harsh conditions, disease, and starvation during their march to designated Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. The removal was driven by a combination of economic interests and a belief in the superiority of white settlers' rights over Native American sovereignty.
