The Trail of Tears were a set of stockades (open prisons), Weigh Stations, Forts, and trails that ranged from 200 to 900 miles long starting in the south eastern United States and ending in the current day state of Oklahoma. The forced march of native Americans began in 1831 and ended sometime in 1839.
All weather conditions were present during the Trail of Tears, including at least two notably 'coldest winters' ever experienced (quoted from first hand reports).
The US Army, Militia and Volunteers forced native Americans to walk, through all weather conditions along these routes, holding them in stockades at different points. Documented accounts exist that: People were murdered (shot for fun or at the orders of commanders), Raped, tortured, drowned, intentionally exposed to diseases, starved, and had all property taken at the will of the taker without recourse. (Just imagine the death camps of Nazi Germany, but without as many photo opportunities).
