The Trail of Tears was the forced removal of Cherokee Indians from the Southeast to Oklahoma.

Explanation:

The Trail of Tears was a series of forced displacements of Native Americans from their native homeland in the southeastern United States to western areas (usually west of the Mississippi River) that were deemed Indian territory, where government authorities, after the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, deported them. Displaced peoples suffered from openness, disease and hunger on their way to the new reserves that had been designated for them and many died before reaching their destination.
