Who Forced Native Americans To Move West Of The Mississippi River?
No one forced Native Americans west of the Mississippi; they lived there for thousands of years before the Spaniards or White America ever went there. White Americans forced Native Americans off their homelands, relocating tribes to regions unfamiliar to them. White men forced the Cherokee of Western North Carolina onto the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma, but many hearty Cherokees stayed, so there is an Eastern and Western band of Cherokee.
