Answer:
The Trail of Tears was part of a series of forced relocations of approximately 100,000[1] Native Americans between 1830 and 1850 by the United States government[2] known as the Indian removal. Members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations (including thousands of their black slaves[3]) were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to areas to the west of the Mississippi River that had been designated 'Indian Territory'.[2] The forced relocations were carried out by government authorities after the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830.[4] The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush.[5]
The source was the land that they owned that they could control the peasants in their feudal system.
Acts of Trade and Navigation
Explanation:
The Navigation Acts, or more broadly the Acts of Trade and Navigation, was a long series of English laws that developed, promoted, and regulated English ships, shipping, trade, and commerce between other countries and with its own colonies. The laws also regulated England's fisheries and restricted foreigners' participation in its colonial trade.
