What were their options if they did not want to move? Was this a federal mandated relocation? How did the idea of relocating these people originate? Who opposed this? What were the advantages and disadvantages for the Native Americans who made this move? An unbiased research project should answer these questions and initiate additional questions.

What was The forced moving of Cherokees from Georgia to Oklahoma called?

The Trail of Tears is the name given to the forced relocation of Native American nations from parts of the Southeastern United States. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 began the forced removal. About 125,000 native Americans were forced to move. More than 35% died on the way. The words "Trail of Tears" was given by those who witnessed this but the people themselves remained silent. The Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations were driven from their homeland to Indian Territory (present-day eastern Oklahoma). The time involved was from the winter of 1831-1837. Many died on the Trail from disease and mistreatment as they had to walk. As a nation we pretty much pushed the native Americans further and further west until there was no place to go. In1907 Oklahoma became a state and Indian territory was gone for good.


Who gave the Trail of Tears its name?

The Trail of Tears was the forced relocation of Native Americans from their homelands to Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in the Western United States. The phrase originated from a description of the removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831. Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their destinations, and many died, including, for example, 4,000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokee.
