What:As part of Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policy, the Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma. The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears" because of its devastating effects.
When: 1838 and 1839,
Where: This happened in the US and involved the Us Government also.
Why:In 1830, just a year after taking office, President Jackson began to aggressively implement a broad policy of extinguishing Indian land titles and relocating the Indian population. The Congress passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which said that "no state could achieve proper culture, civilization, and progress, as long as Indians remained within its boundaries". This act gave the president power to negotiate removal treaties with Indian tribes living east of Mississippi. Under these treaties, the Indians were to give up their lands east of the Mississippi River in exchange for the lands to the west.
How: The government formally adopted a removal policy, which was carried out in the 1830s by President Andrew Jackson, from Tennessee, who was a forceful proponent of Indian removal.
Affect:The result was particularly overwhelming for the Indians of the southeastern United States, primarily for the so-called Five Civilized Tribes: Cherokee, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles. By the late 1830s, the Five Civilized Tribes signed more than 40 treaties exchanging their eastern lands for the lands in the west. The tribes agreed to the treaties for strategic reasons. They wanted to appease the government in the hopes of retaining some of their land, and they wanted to protect themselves from white harassment. As a result of the treaties, the United States gained control over three-quarters of Alabama and Florida, as well as parts of Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky and North Carolina
