Native Tribes In 1829, gold was discovered on Cherokee lands in northern Georgia. Thousands of American settlers rushed to the area. They demanded that the federal government open up more Cherokee lands for farming and mining. In 1830, the United States government passed the Indian Removal Act. This law forced the Cherokee to move west of the Mississippi River.

However, government leaders ignored the decision of the courts. On March 27, 1838, the United States Army forced about 17,000 Cherokee in North Carolina and other nearby states to move west to what is now Oklahoma. About 4,000 Cherokee died along the 1,000 mile walk. This terrible journey became known as the Trail of Tears.  http://www.mhschool.com/ss/ca/g2/u1/g2u1_quiz.html
