Abstract
The article states that on May 28, 1830, U.S. President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which resulted in the migration of Native American tribes, including Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminoles. It mentions that the "trail of tears" is a remembered event caused by state jurisdictions and the unyielding colonial expansion that pressured Native American lands. It highlights that many Cherokee faced deplorable conditions, including diseases like cholera and dysentery.
