1. Research what happened to the Cherokees who were removed from their land.
The government, led by President Andrew Jackson, forcably removed the Cherokee Indians from their homelands because of the resources that were found on said lands. Some Cherokee's went willingly, and others decided to try and fight for their land. The Cherokee didn't end up winning that fight and were forced out of their territory to go on the Trail of Tears (which over 4,000 Cherokee died on) to Oklahoma.
