The Cherokee name for their forced journey west was the Trail of Tears.
The Cherokees were led west during the Trail of Tears primarily by their chief, John Ross. He played a crucial role in resisting the forced removal and advocating for the rights of the Cherokee people. Despite his efforts, the U.S. government enforced the Indian Removal Act, leading to the tragic journey in 1838-1839, where thousands of Cherokees faced immense suffering and loss.
