The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was the first of a series of laws passed by the U.S. Congress to forcibly remove Native Americans from their ancestral homelands in the southeastern United States. The Act led to the forced relocation of over 100,000 Native Americans and resulted in the deaths of thousands due to disease and starvation. In 1838, the US Army forcibly removed the Cherokee Nation from their ancestral lands in what is now known as the 'Trail of Tears', resulting in the deaths of over 4,000 Cherokee people.
