there is no way to tell for sure if there is one event that really started the removal of the Indians. Greed, Western Expansion, and feeling superior to the "savages" caused this and most of the persecution of the Native American people. The Cherokee people tried very hard to become what the dominant culture wanted. They owned land, farmed, and even owned slaves. They had a written language and published a newspaper in that language. They were still driven out. Many of their persecutors moved into the farms and homes they left behind.

The white man's greed is what caused the Trail of Tears to occur. They wanted more land and forced the Indians to move out of the land they wanted.

The Indian Problem, specifically the forced-draft resettlement ( accompanied by US Army troops) of the Cherokee tribe, eventually to wide tracts in among other places, oOklahoma. what was lightly called the Cherokee strip by the White man- and the epic land rush with cowhands and chuck-wagons ( a stamp and cover was done on this theme) was called by the uprooted Native Americans, the Trail or Tears. of course, this phrase can be applied to any tragic situation- such as the child-abuse epidemic among churchmen.
