The Native Americans, particularly the Cherokee, faced significant challenges during the Trail of Tears, including overwhelming military force and lack of resources. Many were unprepared for armed conflict, having initially sought legal avenues to resist removal through the courts. Additionally, internal divisions and the desire to avoid further bloodshed led many to comply with the forced relocation rather than engage in violent resistance. The combination of these factors made organized resistance difficult and ultimately futile.
