The Trail of Tears was a forced march in the dead of winter from Georgia to Oklahoma of 4,000 Native Americans from infants to elderly. People died on this walk from illness, starvation, and the conditions they encountered. This is one of the most shameful events in American history.
because they hated them
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.
The people that took part of the Trail of Tears can be found on the different tribal rolls and census's taken in Oklahoma immediately following their forced relocation - at least from the "indian" perspective. The same can be said for the American's involved, some of the noted men are: George Gaines, Lewis Cass, Andrew Jackson, Richard Call, Winfield Scott, John Marshall, Martin Van Buren; to name a few.
The native Americans called their journey away from their homes the Trail of Tears.

Hi
The Trail of Tears was a horrible time in the history of the Native American. The United States forced many Cherokee Indians to travel from their homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains out to Oklahoma. Many of them died along the way, which is why they call it the Trail of Tears.We learned about the Trail of Tears in school today.

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).
One such journey was referred to as the Trail of Tears.
