The correct answer is B. The route used by American Indians being forcibly relocated west of the Mississippi River

Explanation

As a result of the New Echota treaty that legislated the relocation of the indigenous people located in the east of the Mississippi River to the east of the river (under economic interests), the "Trail of tears" occurred. This situation took place from 1831 to 1838 and was a mass exile of American Indians and especially from the Cherokees and Choctaw tribes, who were exiled from the east of the Mississippi River to the west of the same river. During this displacement, around four thousand Indians died due to the poor conditions in which they were moved and where they were relocated. So, the correct answer is B. The route used by American Indians being forcibly relocated west of the Mississippi River.
