It began with the removal of the Choctaw in 1831 and ended with the removal of the Cherokee in 1838. The actual removal of the Native American tribes from the South took several years. The Indian Removal Act was passed by Congress in 1830. The Trail of Tears can also refer to the specific forced march and path of the Cherokee Nation from North Carolina to Oklahoma.
Peoples from the Cherokee, Muscogee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole tribes were marched at gunpoint across hundreds of miles to reservations. The Trail of Tears was when the United States government forced Native Americans to move from their homelands in the Southern United States to Indian Territory in Oklahoma.
