The displacement of the Cherokee tribes, known as the Trail of Tears, was primarily driven by the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to relocate Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to designated territories west of the Mississippi River. This was motivated by the growing demand for land, particularly following the discovery of gold in Georgia. Despite legal battles, including the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia, the U.S. government forcibly removed the Cherokee in the late 1830s, leading to a tragic journey marked by suffering and high mortality rates.
