Trail of Tears

After the Indian Removal Act of 1830, many native American tribes were forced into relocation to Indian Territories. The travel from their homeland was harsh, and thousands died. The journeys made by these tribes became known as The Trail of Tears. In 1987, the route taken by 15,000 Cherokees was made a National Historic Trail. It spans across nine states.

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.
