to make land available for white miners and farmers
They walked from Georgia to Oklahoma which is about 1500 miles.
The trail of tears is an 800 mile forced march made by the Cherokee from the homeland in Georgia to Indian territory (caused by the Indian removal act.); it resulted in thousands of deaths of the Cherokee
The Cherokee Nation originally resided in the southeastern United States, primarily in areas that are now part of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. However, after the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears in the 1830s, many Cherokees were relocated to what is now Oklahoma. Today, the Cherokee Nation's headquarters is located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

Trail of Tears
Jesse Smoke was a member of the Cherokee Nation who lived in the areas that were part of the southeastern United States, specifically in what is now Georgia. During the Trail of Tears in the 1830s, he, like many other Cherokees, was forcibly removed from his homeland and relocated to designated Indian Territory, which is present-day Oklahoma. The journey was marked by hardship and suffering, as thousands of Native Americans faced disease, starvation, and death along the way.
I assume you are referring to the Cherokees, who were a tribe of what were then called "Indians." Sadly, as the United States grew and expanded, a number of Americans believed that they had a right to the land inhabited by the Indians, and many tribes were forcibly moved, often relocated to reservations under brutal conditions. In 1838, residents of Georgia decided they wanted the land the Cherokees occupied. In the event known today as the "Trail of Tears," the Georgia Cherokees were driven from their land and forced to march nearly 1000 miles to their new home in Oklahoma. It was a very arduous journey, and many of the Cherokees died along the way.
The state of Georgia violated the treaty with the Cherokees by passing laws that undermined the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation and authorized the seizure of their lands. Specifically, the Georgia legislature extended state laws over Cherokee territory, effectively nullifying the rights guaranteed to the Cherokees under the Treaty of New Echota in 1835. This led to the forced removal of the Cherokee people, known as the Trail of Tears, despite legal challenges that affirmed their rights.
its really easy
Hi
Cherokees are usual residents of Georgia,Virginia,Kentucky,Tennessee,and North & South Carolina. Most Cherokees were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1800's along the "Trail of Tears."
most of them went to okaloma some went to Georgia too.
Andrew Jackson ultimately sided with Georgia in the argument over the Cherokees. Despite the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia, which favored the rights of the Cherokees, Jackson famously ignored the decision and supported the state's rights to remove Native Americans from their lands. This led to the forced relocation of the Cherokees, known as the Trail of Tears, reflecting Jackson's alignment with state interests over Indigenous rights.
