What plain is next to the Appalachian Mountains and where were the Cherokee lndians located?

The area you are asking about is the Atlantic Coastal
Plain. This which flatland region extends 2,200 miles along the Appalachian Mountain
range, from New York to Florida.

Before their explusion
from their eastern lands, the Cherokee nation encompassed most of the southeastern
United States, particularly Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Even
though the Cherokee and other southeastern Native American groups had more or less
assimilated into white society and had become known as the "civilized tribes," desire
for their land caused many whites to turn against them, and in 1830, led by President
Andrew Jackson, the Indian Removal Act forced them out of the east in what has become
known as the Trail of Tears.
