From November to December 1836, during the Trail of Tears forced migration, Native Americans under the supervision of Pope County militia traveled through Point Remove Bottoms west of present-day Morrilton , Conway, Arkansas on their way to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). White farmers and merchants profited from selling food and goods, particularly corn, either directly to the travelers or to the U.S. government, which was entrusted with supplying provisions to the migrants. Between 1830 and 1850, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people (including mixed-race and black slaves who lived among them) were forcibly removed from their traditional lands in the Southeastern United States, and relocated farther west.Those Native Americans who were relocated were forced to march to their destinations by state and local militias. 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. Approximately 2,000–8,000 of the 16,543 relocated Cherokee perished along the way.
