How long was the Trail of Tears?

Answer 1

There was not exact date, but seeing as the trail was apromxitially 1,200 miles (2,00 km). To put that in perspective, picture walking from Boston, Mass. to New York City, and back 7 times!!! The average human walks at 4 to 5 miles an hour, but factor carring all your belongings, and doing this almost nonstop, and you may be down to 1 or 2. All in all, it took a little over 1 year to do that.

Answer 2

The trail was 2,200 miles. Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease and starvation on the route to their destinations. Many died, including 60,000 of the 130,000 relocated Cherokee, intermarried and accompanying European-Americans, and the 2,000 African-Americanfree blacks and slaves owned by the Cherokee they took with them. European Americans and African American freedmen and slaves also participated in the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee Creek and Seminole forced relocations.

Answer 3

it took about a year if you took the land route, which started in southeastern Tennessee, crossed north across western Kentucky, crossed southern Illinois, the Mississippi R., and Missouri and ended in Oklahoman. They mad it in Oklahoma n the end of summer

Answer 4

The question can't really be answered. The "Trail of Tears" is generally used to describe several more-or-less separate movements taking place over a period from 1831 - 1838; some people include ANY forced migrations of First Nations tribes, meaning it extended far longer than that.

The best timeline I could find indicates that a travel time of about six months for any individual detachment of Cherokee is about right. Some tribes didn't travel as far as the Cherokee did, and the Seminole had to go a considerably longer distance.
