Cassandra Macdonald · Answer 1

Option B, the death of thousands of Indians, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The forced relocation of the Cherokee Native American tribes in the year 1838, to the Indian Territory which later came to be known as the State of Oklahoma is referred to as the Trail of Tears. This relocation was caused by the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This force relocation resulted in the deaths of an approximated 4,000 of the 15,000 Cherokees affected.
