The Cherokee were not the only Native Americans affected by the Indian Removal Policy. Read about the Sac and Fox Indians in Illinois, and the Seminole in Florida. In addition, read about the many attempts, including a law suit filed by the Cherokee, to stay on their ancestral homes. The ultimate result was the Trail of Tears, on which the military forced the Indians to travel and to leave their land.
