The Cherokee people lived in the Southeastern US. They were forced to walk from NC to OK where they were placed on a reservation. About 1/3 of all the Cherokee People in the world died on that march. The route that they followed became known as the Trail of Tears.
Another Answer:
There are two separate questions that answer both of the included questions here (see linked questions). The Arkansas Gazette quoted Thomas Harkins (A Choctaw) as saying "[it was] a trail of tears and death" it was most likely this quote that eventually lead to naming the act of removing the Indians.
