Best Answer

The whites involved in the Trail of Tears would have been the soldiers who accompanied and initiated the migration, and the settlers and government officials who ignored the Supreme Court and required the migration.

What did you learn about The Trail of Tears?

From an "Natives" point of view: The Trail of Tears was a lesson that the white man could not be trusted, his culture and religion violates the law of humanity and he (the white man) will violate his own word (even written) and will murder, rape and make sport of those acts in order to gain personal possessions, wealth and power. The White culture has no honor, no respect and can never be trusted; they are evil children that never come to adulthood and revel in teaching their children these same values.
