The Cherokee Indians original homeland was in present day northern Georgia and western South Carolina. Small numbers yielded to the encroachment of white settlers and by 1800 a made voluntary move to Arkansas and southern Missouri while a second group found a new home in Tenennessee. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 called for the forced removal of all Indians in the East to the western side of the Mississippi River. From this came the Trail of Tears.White pressure mounted on those who had established communities in Arkansas and from this group the Texas Cherokee made there move to the Republic of Texas or more correctly to Coahuila Mexico.
