The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was the legislation that led to the Trail of Tears. This act authorized the forced relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to designated territories west of the Mississippi River. The implementation of this policy resulted in the suffering and death of thousands of Native Americans during the arduous journey, known as the Trail of Tears.

How had the Cherokees tried to fit in during the Trail of Tears?

They did not fit in, and they legally owned all the land that America wanted and could repossess it under international law if the treaty was broken (and that is what they threatened to do, so) that is why America passed the "Indian Removal Act" and put them on the trail of tears (Trail where they Weep).
