The Cherokee were forcibly removed from their lands during the Trail of Tears in the 1830s, largely as a result of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Although some members of the tribe initially attempted to negotiate and adapt to the pressures of American expansion, the U.S. government ultimately compelled their relocation through military force and legal tactics. This tragic event led to the suffering and death of thousands of Cherokee people during the journey to designated Indian Territory.
