Native Americans were forced to follow the Trail of Tears due to the U.S. government's policy of Indian removal, which aimed to relocate tribes from their ancestral lands in the Southeastern United States to designated territories west of the Mississippi River. This was driven by the desire for land and resources, particularly following the discovery of gold and the expansion of cotton farming. The resulting forced marches, particularly affecting the Cherokee, resulted in immense suffering, disease, and death. The Trail of Tears symbolizes the broader history of displacement and injustice faced by Native Americans.
