How many Cherokee left there land?
There were close to 16,000 Cherokees, including about 100 intermarried whites, 50 adopted Creeks, 100 adopted Natchez and 1500 black slaves rounded up and placed in internment campts during the months the government was preparing remove the Cherokees to leave their homeland. The internment camps were squalid and the Cherokees were poorly fed, often food they were unfamiliar with, such as wheat flour. Perhaps upward of 2000 Cherokee died before the removal began. Some Cherokees had gone west during the summer, which was known as the sickly season. During that portion of the forced migration, conducted by the U.S. military, about half of the 1000 Cherokees died before and right after arrival in the Indian Territory. Principal Chief John Ross sought and was granted permission to conduct the removal under Cherokee authority in the winter of 1838. The winter turned out to be colder than usual and disease followed the Cherokees at every stop, including small pox and cholera. Whites along the way also took advantage of the Cherokees, stealing their horses and meager belonging and overcharging for food. By the time the Cherokees arrived in Indian Territory, another 2000 had died along the Trail of Tears or immediately after arrival, bringing the total number of deaths directly attributable to the forced removal to 4,000 or 25 percent of the tribal population. Among the dead were many notable Cherokees including The Flee, Whitepath and Quatie, the wife of Chief John Ross.

What was the Indian Removal act?
The indian Removal act is when President Jackson wanted to move the Indians or Native Americans out from there land and payed the indians money and gave them aid for one year. (1830) A law that made it legal for the President (Andrew Jackson) to move Native tribes west. The Cherokees were one group that was evicted from their land in Georgia and South Carolina. A lottery was held to divide their land.The Indian removal act was when Cherokees and other tribes were living on fertile land, which also has gold. America wants the land and they try to get the southeastern tribes to sign away their land. some think it is mandatory and sign it, but some tribes, among them the Cherokee,refuse to sign away their land. the whole thing goes to supreme court and supreme court judge john Marshall says that the land is the Cherokees and shows treaties to prove it. Andrew Jackson, president at the time, did not like this ruling. he proposed a law to congress which was the Indian Removal act. congress passed the law and the Indians had 2 years to leave their lands. some left to land west of the Mississippi in present day Ohio, but this land is not fertile and nothing like the Indians homeland. the Cherokees stay for the 2 years and then they are forced to leave in the Trail of Tears. they were relocated in the winter and many didn't even have shoes. the Cherokees had nearly half the people that the had at the start.The Indian Removal Act authorized the President to give the unsettled lands west of the Mississippi in exchange of the Indian lands.
