The correct answer is, In 1838 after pressuring the Cherokee to sign treaties giving up their lands the federal government, sent the US Army to force Cherokee resistors to march west. President Jackson had given the Cherokees time to voluntarily remove themselves, but many were headstrong and refused to leave their homeland. The government rounded them up and forced them into internment camps, before marching them westward toward Indian Territory.
