Trail of Tears

Some natives decided to 'stay behind' and with the help of a Tennessee politician, were given state citizenship to avoid qualifications under the Indian Removal Act, and most were allowed to keep their lands.

yes.

In the early 19th century, following various treaties, several thousand Cherokees voluntarily moved to the Arkansas Territory. Estimates suggest that around 1,000 to 2,000 Cherokees relocated to this area during this period, primarily seeking better opportunities and land. This voluntary migration occurred before the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears, which led to the displacement of many more Cherokees to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).

The Trail of Tears was called that because entire tribes were taken from their native lands and homes in the southeastern US to other places in the west--many died on the way.

The law being enforced was the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

The law was pushed (and passed) by the Democratic Party especially by then Democrat President Andrew Jackson, who had in his days as a soldier been an Indian fighter. Jackson(D) was already notorious for his actions in the Creek Civil War (1813-1814) where after putting down the rebelling "Red Stick" faction of Creek Indians, Jackson forced both rebelling Creeks and his own allied Creeks onto a reservation. Many Creeks escaped this forced deportation to join the then fledgeling Seminoles band not officially recogized as an Indian Nation until the 1950s.

To date, the Democratic Party has never apologized for passing legislation that forced so many Americans away from their ancestrial homes and into deplorable conditions.

The last I saw in a book, the model 12A was worth between $300 and $900 depending on condition. I have two of them, one with ser# 189xxx and the other with s/n 324xxx.

The people on The Trail Of Tears were relocated because the Cherokee forced then to leave.

Since accurate numbers of people who died were not kept, there is simply no record of the individuals that died during the Trail of Tears.

There is or was no census of the marches along the trail of tears, by anything other than an overall count; which varies to such a wide degree it is considered an estimate at best. For this reason there is no estimate of how many children were on the trail of tears.

members of the Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole,Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to an area west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Indian Territory.
