Trail of Tears

After the Indian Removal Act of 1830, many native American tribes were forced into relocation to Indian Territories. The travel from their homeland was harsh, and thousands died. The journeys made by these tribes became known as The Trail of Tears. In 1987, the route taken by 15,000 Cherokees was made a National Historic Trail. It spans across nine states.

Does the painting the trail of tears illustrate a belief in limited government?

Asked by Wiki User

The painting "The Trail of Tears" itself does not directly illustrate a belief in limited government. However, the historical event it depicts, the forced relocation of Native Americans by the United States government, can be seen as a violation of limited government principles. The government's involvement in carrying out such a policy represented a disregard for individual rights and limited government power.

The term "Trail of Tears" or "Trail where they cried" is used to describe the forced removal of Native American tribes, particularly the Cherokee Nation, from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the 1830s. The name reflects the immense suffering and loss endured by the Native Americans during this forced relocation, during which thousands died due to exposure, disease, and starvation.

There is no specific proportion available as it would depend on various factors such as the individuals' physical condition, access to resources, and the specific winter conditions. Walking 800 miles in winter can be extremely challenging and dangerous, especially if adequate preparations are not made. It is advisable to consult historical data or specific studies for a more accurate estimation.

In 1838, the Cherokee people were forcibly removed from their lands in the Southeastern United States to the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in the Western United States, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 4,000 Cherokees.[24] In the Cherokee language, the event is called Nu na da ul tsun yi-"the Place Where They Cried". The Cherokee Trail of Tears resulted from the enforcement of the Treaty of New Echota, an agreement signed under the provisions of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which exchanged Native American land in the East for lands west of theMississippi River, but which was never accepted by the elected tribal leadership or a majority of the Cherokee people.

User Avatar

The Cherokee people lived in the Southeastern US. They were forced to walk from NC to OK where they were placed on a reservation. About 1/3 of all the Cherokee People in the world died on that march. The route that they followed became known as the Trail of Tears.

Another Answer:

There are two separate questions that answer both of the included questions here (see linked questions). The Arkansas Gazette quoted Thomas Harkins (A Choctaw) as saying "[it was] a trail of tears and death" it was most likely this quote that eventually lead to naming the act of removing the Indians.

As to what the Trail of Tears was, and the tribes involved; it is better if you read the other explanation as it is long (even in its brief form).
