Isaac Gaines · Answer 1

the Cherokee Indians were forced out of the south in 1838, and 1839. This was a part of President Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policy. The Cherokee Indians were moved from the east of the Mississippi to what is now modern day Oklahoma. They call it the "Trail of Tears" because it was a very devastating blow to the Cherokee Indians.

Mateo · Answer 2

The Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River
