"...a historical event known as the "Trail of Tears", the forced march of roughly 60,000 Native Americans from their ancestral homes to lands designated "Indian Territory" by Congress in the 1830s.
Five tribes, including the Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole, were forcibly removed, with the support of former President Andrew Jackson. The move killed between 2,500-6,000 Native Americans."
