Trail of Tears

Tissues are used most of the time but people also use their shirts.

There were 17,000 Cherokee plus, 2,000 Black slaves they owned that marched on the Trail of Tears. The estimated deaths on the trail run from a low of around 500 and a high of around 8,000. There isn't a separate breakdown for the slaves that I have found.

Actually the answer is none. The "Trail of Tears" was less than one years time 1838-9. The actual forced removal after the "round up" of Cherokee remaining in the So. East did not include any slaves. By all accounts everything of any value was taken from the Cherokee before. They were not allowed to take anything when they were forced out of their homes at gun point. Then locked up in stockades as prisoners before being marched 2,000 miles to Indian Territory. As the Cherokee were marched out of their homes the whites were walking in the back door & stealing/claiming anything of value, possessions, livestock & slaves included. Or were "claimed" for often fraudulent "debts" from the Cherokee. Georgia had already carried out a lottery for the Cherokee's land & "improvements". So anything there was up for grabs. The Gov. did not even allow a payment for soap to be used on the way. Slaves were "property" & as such were not allowed for by the Gov. The transport of "personal property" (slaves) would not be payed for. To be sure yes the Cherokee did own slaves. However most were "mixedbloods" like Major Ridge & the others of the "treaty party" who signed the illegal "treaty of 1835". They were rich in their own right & moved to Indian territory at their own expense before the "forced removal" (Trail where they cried) "Trail of Tears". Many Cherokee had moved West from right after the Revolutionary War & formed what was called the "western" or "Old Settlers" prior to 1838.

You can get one through the National Park web site or at an entrance to a National Park. You will need to show something that shows your age or that you are a military vet.

they wanted more land and eat food they wante

I bought my 31 16 gage pump about 5 years ago for $280. I was NRA good and has been my go to shotgun for small game hunting. I have also shot a 22 in skeet and a 24 in trap with this shotgun. It fits me perfectly and is a joy to carry at 7lbs. 16 gage 31's seem to go for about $300. Hope this helps

Winfield Scott led the Cherokee west on the Trail of Tears.

The government created and enforced many "trails of tears". The one that history records made most famous was that of the Cherokee. Forced to walk thousands of miles from Georgia to Oklahoma, four thousand Indians are thought to have died. This removal was against the findings of the Supreme Court of the United States who said the Cherokee would have to agree with the removal. They never did.

ive seen it sell from anywhere between 200-450$

To understand the impact the weather had on the 16,000 Cherokee people who were on the Trail of Tears you would need to know that they were moved 850 miles over a seven month period. It began in June 1838 and the heat was bad that summer. They called a halt after 3 groups had reached Oklahoma. They began again in August and the last group arrived in December. The autumn rains made the roads almost impassable, and with the onslaught of winter the last of the 13 groups arrived in December. Four thousand people died on the Trail of Tears.

The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole

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.

They all do with indians being kicked out of places

It was the removal of the cherokees.

No. Lumees are a community of Indians who are also part African and part European in ancestry. In the past they lived in extremely remote, swampy regions to avoid encroachment by non-Natives.

The Seal of the Supreme Court of the United States, which features an image of Lady Justice, symbolizes the judicial system's role in upholding the law. The Trail of Tears, the forced relocation of Native American tribes in the 1830s, was influenced by legal decisions and policies supported by the government at the time. While the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokee in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), President Andrew Jackson's administration ignored this ruling, highlighting a disconnect between the judiciary and executive power during that period. Thus, the seal indirectly relates to the Trail of Tears as it represents the judiciary's failure to protect Native American rights amid governmental overreach.

The Cherokee were forced to march from Georgia.

The Trail of Tears was not necessary; it was a result of U.S. government policies aimed at westward expansion and the forced removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands. The suffering and death experienced by thousands during this forced relocation highlight the tragic consequences of these policies, which were fueled by racism and a disregard for Native American rights. Alternatives existed that could have honored treaties and allowed for coexistence, but these were largely ignored. Ultimately, the Trail of Tears represents a dark chapter in American history driven by unjust motivations.
