For what reason might the u. s. government have forced the cherokee to give up their land and move west? was change progress for the nation?

One reason why the U.S govt forced the cherokee to give up there land was because the U.S wanted to move west towards califonia because there was gold there during the ''gold rush''.to answer the second question yes the process did kid of help because it created the suburbs for the settlers that moved west over time.
