answer: trail of tears, in u.s. history, the forced relocation during the 1830s of eastern woodlands indians of the southeast region of the united states (including cherokee, creek, chickasaw, choctaw, and seminole, among other nations) to indian territory west of the mississippi river.

the trail of tears ended in present-day oklahoma. this forced relocation began in georgia and moved most of the cherokee and other southeastern tribes to oklahoma, which was then called indian territory. this relocation resulted in the deaths of many native americans and was clearly rooted in the racist attitudes of white americans at that time.

racism and segregation.
