Was the trail of tears just or unjust?

Answer 1

The 19th century saw the forced march of the Cherokee Tribe from the eastern part of the US to what is now Oklahoma. Despite court rulings, US President Andrew Jackson ignored them. This proud Native Tribe suffered greatly due to disease, starvation, violence and the long march. It was cruel and unjustified.

Answer 2

No it was NOT justified. It was murder pure and simple and reflects the attitude the government had towards the Native Americans. The unwritten policy of killing as many Native Americans as possible was applied. This is a shameful part of American history.

Answer 3

The Trail of Tears was unjust because the british took over their land without letting the natives have a say. They basiclly just walked onto their property and said get out.
