What are two reasons why the Cherokee were fearful of moving to the new lands? Provide evidence from the document to support your claims.

1 )The land west of the Mississippi was unsuitable for farming and white settlers wanted to move to the Southeast where Native Americans lived. They wanted the government to move the Native Americans to the Plains so the whites could settle in the Southeast for farming.

2 ) Little thought had been given to these, and in the crowded and unsanitary conditions, measles, whooping cough and dysentery took a terrible toll throughout the summer. After most of the Cherokee had been collected, relocation by boat began in August, but drought had made Tennessee River unusable.

Hope this helps!
