Answer:

Cherokee

Step-by-step explanation:

Cherokee Indian Tribes were targeted the most by the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Indian Removal Act ordered by United States President Andrew Jackson to relocate the Native Indians to the west of the Mississippi River. Cherokee Indians forced to walk, which became known as the Trail of Tears because according to scholars about 4,000-5,000 Cherokees died in the trail. The act was implied in Georgia where it was the ancestral homeland for the Cherokee.
