In the 1800s, more and more white settlers came to North America. They started spreading throughout the land. The U.S. government passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830. This law made more room for the settlers. It also changed the way of life for Native Americans in southeastern states like Georgia and Florida. Many Native Americans had to give up their land. This law forced them to leave their homes. However, many tribes did not want to leave.
     The Cherokee tribe wanted to fight the law. Leaders of the Cherokee tribe went to court to keep their homeland. In 1832, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the tribes were right. Yet, President Andrew Jackson did not agree with this ruling. He sent the army to remove the Cherokee. Tribes had to walk thousands of miles west to what is now Oklahoma. Their journey is called the "Trail of Tears."
