1830 Indian Removal Act
The year was 1838. More than six hundred Cherokee Indians were hauled into the west in the cold rain or as known as the trails of tears.

Stealing lands from Native Americans and being dishonest with treaties was a violation of their legal rights. The Native Americans had been living on that land for year’s way before the U.S. even existed.
