The Trail of Tears was the forced removal and relocation of several Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the 1830s. The main tribes involved in the Trail of Tears were:
1. Cherokee Nation
2. Creek Nation
3. Chickasaw Nation
4. Choctaw Nation
5. Seminole Nation
The U.S. government, particularly President Andrew Jackson, played a significant role in the forced removal of these tribes. The involvement of state governments and militiamen, as well as the actions of U.S. Army soldiers, also contributed to the execution of the Trail of Tears.
