How did the trail of tears affect native populations in the future

The extent of the loss of life among migrants has an impact on the ability of people to maintain community structures such as clan and kin relationships. Loss of large numbers of family members through epidemic disease and the rigors of removal disrupt communities. It also decimated relations between natives and Colonial Americans.

It resulted in a lot of Cherokee people being killed and those who were not murdered were forcibly relocated into “Indian Territory”.
Hope this helps

Both countries had to aprove annexation.
