The Indian Removal Act
The movement of American Indians in 1838 is commonly referred to as the "Trail of Tears." This forced relocation involved the Cherokee Nation and other tribes, as they were compelled to leave their ancestral lands in the Southeastern United States and move to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The journey was marked by extreme hardship, suffering, and a significant loss of life due to harsh conditions.
It's original name was "Indian Territory."

The five so-called "civilized tribes" of the Indian Territory in 1854 were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole nations. These tribes were termed "civilized" by European settlers due to their adoption of various European-American practices, including agriculture, education, and governance. They played significant roles in the history of the southeastern United States before being forcibly relocated to the Indian Territory.
