In a Venn diagram comparing the Trail of Tears and the Nazis' death marches, you can highlight the shared themes of forced relocation and suffering due to oppressive government policies. Both involved the mass displacement of people—Native Americans in the Trail of Tears and Jews and other targeted groups during the Holocaust. Unique aspects include the Trail of Tears being primarily driven by U.S. expansionist policies in the 1830s, while the Nazi death marches occurred during World War II as a result of genocide. Both events resulted in significant loss of life and enduring trauma for the affected communities.

One thing the Transcontinental Railroad did for the west was eliminating the Oregon Trail. Essentially, you could move to the West (California predominantly) without the hardships, many times death, that came with traveling the Oregon Trail.
Illnesses such as food poisoning, typhoid and, particularly, cholera were the primary causes of death for travelers on the Oregon Trail. Although popular legend would have us believe that many pioneers were killed in conflicts with Native Americans, relatively few people actually died this way.

"The Masque of the Red Death," a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, is set during the 14th century, specifically during the time of the Black Death, which ravaged Europe in the 1340s. The story uses this historical backdrop to explore themes of mortality and the futility of trying to escape death. Poe's tale underscores the inevitability of death, regardless of wealth or status.

Estimates suggest that around 20,000 pioneers died while traveling the Oregon Trail from the mid-1840s to the late 1860s. The primary causes of death included disease, accidents, and harsh weather conditions. Cholera was particularly deadly, accounting for a significant number of fatalities. Despite the dangers, many settlers persevered in search of new opportunities in the West.
"The Masque of the Red Death," a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, is set during a time of plague and social isolation, which suggests it likely takes place in the 14th century, during the time of the Black Death. However, since Poe wrote the story in the 19th century, it can also reflect contemporary anxieties about disease and social disparity of that era. Thus, while the narrative is rooted in the 14th century, its themes resonate with the 19th century in which it was published.
