The Trail of Tears was a tragic event that occurred primarily in the southeastern United States, specifically in the states of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida. It involved the forced removal of Native American tribes, notably the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole, from their ancestral lands to designated territories west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s. This forced relocation resulted in the displacement, suffering, and death of thousands of Native Americans, marking a dark chapter in American history.
