The two statements that apply to the Trail of Tears are:
- It describes the removal of 15,000 Cherokee from Georgia lands.
- It removed the last of the American Indians from the state of Georgia.
The Trail of Tears was the forced relocation of the Cherokee Nation and other Indigenous tribes from their ancestral lands, primarily in the southeastern United States, to designated "Indian Territory" (present-day Oklahoma) during the 1830s, resulting in great suffering and significant loss of life.
