Cherokee Strength
In the late 1820s, gold was discovered in the northern and central regions of Georgia. With thoughts of easy money, many European settlers came to the regions. Problems were when the settlers began to view the Cherokee, who had most of the land, as a threat. Georgia came up with plans to have the Cherokee Nation removed from these lands. The most infamous of these "removals" was in the winter of 1838 and was called the "Trail of Tears." The Cherokee were made to give up their lands to the gold-mining Europeans. They had to go over 1,000 miles of rough terrain, as thousands of men, women, and children went from their Georgia homelands to Oklahoma. The removal was upsetting to the Cherokee Nation; thousands died on the trail or after their arrival.
