Is the end of the trail synonomous with Trail of Tears?

Well, the question isn't clearly enough stated to answer. the migration of the Cherokees is synonimous with the end of the Trail of Tears process, if that's what you mean.This is not what I mean. I have a history paper due on Wednesday, and the thing I have to write about is "Why do historians not have an accurate account of what went happened during the trail of tears?"I'm just a seventh grader, but I'm doing a research projects on the Trail of Tears, and an answer to your question could be, Historians have an accurate account of what happened during the Trail of Tears because many Cherokees and Settlers did live through it, and the story was passed on. Also, I'm sure many Americans kept a record or wrote down things about it.Hey, I just wanna say that he/she was asking why historians don't have a good record of what happened on the trail of tears. Well if i had to answer it I would say that many of the documents were damaged or lost on the long journey and that many of the Cherokee on the trail didn't have a useful way to record what happened to them. That's what I would say.


Where did the Cherokees live at?

The Cherokee's first lived in what is now Arkansas and portions of southern North Carolina. In fact, by a signed treaty the Cherokee entered into an agreement with the United States to take the land, now known as Arkansas and formed "The Cherokee Nation." When gold was discovered in Arkansas, General Tyler was dispatched to 'relocate' the Cherokee Nation, although they were a viable entity. This move characterized by 'The Trail of Tears' is when the Cherokee were relocated to Oklahoma; in an attempt to kill all Cherokee's General and later President Tyler issued blankets infected with the small pox virus to the freezing Cherokee.


How did the Trail of Tears effect the US?

along the way, government officials stole the Cherokee's money, while outlaws made off with their live-stock.

Did the tribes fight back before they were sent on their way down the trail of tears?

All five of the "civilized tribes" that were illegally expelled from their property made every effort to live peacefully with their white neighbors. Unfortunately for justice, the whites had more guns, and the victims would have been massacred if they had resisted.

The Cherokee, like other Native tribes did not have religion. Only spirituality in how they live their life. Today, most Cherokee are Christian and non traditional.
