Forced migration has happened many times. Probably the largest example is when Indians living in the Southeastern states were rounded up and forced to march the Trail of Tears to what is now Oklahoma.

This answer can be augmented to demonstrate extreme forced migration by adding that the most extreme was that beginning in the 1830's the Cherokee nation in north Georgia were forced to move to what is now Oklahoma.
