Answer:

In response some Cherokees began moving from their homelands in Georgia and Tennessee to the Southern Great Plains. ... Under the legal authority of this Act, in 1838-1839, the United States military forcibly and brutally force-marched thousands of Cherokee to their new home in what would become Oklahoma.
