The Cherokee lost a great deal when they arrived in Indian Territory. The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears," because of its devastating effects. Many of them were quite prosperous in communities in the Southeast and had to sell their belongings for far less than they were worth. During the forced march to Oklahoma, a large fraction of the tribe died due to exposure, starvation, and disease.
