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.

How did the Trail of Tears end?
The Trail of Tears ended with the resettlement of most of the affected Native tribes from Southeastern US to the modern states of Nebraska, Oklahoma, or nearby states. They were forced to live in much smaller, provided areas than they previously owned with no experience of plains life nor methods to survive nor tools to help them out. This occurred because the US government was not concerned with Natives at the time and wished to solve the issue rather than deal with them cordially. Most of them ended up leaving these lands by moving further west, integrating into growing regions, or by, eventually, returning to their homelands. It is important to note that a good number of those on the trail of tears never even made it to the new areas.
Who were you on the trial of tears?
The Trail of Tears was the forced removal of several different Native American tribes. The tribes on the Trail of Tears included the Choctaws, Muskogee, Creek, Chickasaws, Cherokees, and Seminoles.
Why were the Indians forced to move in the Trail of Tears?
The whites wanted more land and Andrew Jackson hated the Indians. The army forced the Cherokee to move west. The trail they used was called the Trail of Tears.

The trail of tears only moved the indians into the midwest. As the americans continued to move west, they moved the indians farther along.
Is the end of the trail synonomous with Trail of Tears?
Well, the question isn't clearly enough stated to answer. the migration of the Cherokees is synonimous with the end of the Trail of Tears process, if that's what you mean.
This is not what I mean. I have a history paper due on Wednesday, and the thing I have to write about is "Why do historians not have an accurate account of what went happened during the trail of tears?"
I'm just a seventh grader, but I'm doing a research projects on the Trail of Tears, and an answer to your question could be, Historians have an accurate account of what happened during the Trail of Tears because many Cherokees and Settlers did live through it, and the story was passed on. Also, I'm sure many Americans kept a record or wrote down things about it.
Hey, I just wanna say that he/she was asking why historians don't have a good record of what happened on the trail of tears. Well if i had to answer it I would say that many of the documents were damaged or lost on the long journey and that many of the Cherokee on the trail didn't have a useful way to record what happened to them. That's what I would say.

What months dates and years did the trail of tears take place need urgent answer for class?
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. Many died on the Trail from disease and mistreatment as they had to walk. 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. As a nation we pretty much pushed the native Americans further and further West until there was no place to go. In 1907 Oklahoma became a state and Indian territory was gone for good.

Did the lumbee cross the Trail of Tears?
No, the Lumbee ancestors did not participate in the Trail of Tears,the Lumbee/croatan were not considered native American at that time or self-identify as Indians.
Lumbee/Croatan have no native American Indian language ,have no Indian words or names and have never spoken any native American language.The Lumbee self-identify as Indian.
The people now calling themselves Lumbee are a mixed race group who are mostly White-Black with a smidge of Native blood(of indeterminate tribal affiliation). They had to downplay their African or mixed heritage and exigerate and overstate their "Native American" identity because of the intense racism in the past. They have been identified as mixed black/white ancestry from the 1700s and were speaking ENGLISH even in the earliest historical references. A considerable amount of genealogical research shows the majority of the founding "Lumbee" families descend from free black males and white females that came down from early Virginia settlements.
They participated in colonial life as "individuals" not as any recognized tribe. Paying taxes, buying property, mustering in colonial and American militias same as all other colonials.
Early colonial records list Lumbee ancestors "as is all "free negors "and mulattos" on kings land and that "no Indians "live in Robeson County area.
They were "never identified as an intact tribe that entered into a treaty with the US.
They initially put forward an origin story that they were the descendants of the "Lost Colony." Then it was Croatan then a Cherokee origin and then Sioux
.
In response to the Southern White backlash to Reconstruction and the tightening of racial laws, the people now calling themselves Lumbee really began to assert their Indian identity. They petitioned for federal recognition as Cherokees. Then a splinter group began to identify as Tuscarora. Now they claim to be descended from Cheraw or "Siouan" people. Their claim of origins has historically been changing for centuries. The Lumbee DNA project indicates that the Native American element makes up only a very small fractional component of their ancestry (both on the mtDNA and Y-DNA lines).No definite Native American markers have been attributed to individuals that self-identify as Lumbee. The bottom line is they are a distinct people who created the name "Lumbee" around 1957 for their group after the Lumber river .There is really no indigenous culture or Language that can be pointed to or attributed to Lumbee and definitely no "full bloods" around.The Cheraw origin is a recentnew theory but has no scientific backing.The cheraw went extinct in the early 1700,s.The Lumbee in 2010 joined with a Casino firm Lewin Int.LLC to work on getting gaming and a Casino and are now seeking full federal recognition to receive funding.

Why did Cherokee call their forced move the Trail of Tears?
It is said that those who witnessed the Native American prisoners forcibly relocated at gunpoint were saddened by what they saw. They did nothing to intervene; but, according to legend - they cried.
Since thousands died and neglect of prisoner injury and illness was present in this dishonorable action of the US Army, it most certainly meets the definition of a DEATH MARCH. We could call it the "Oklahoma Death March". But that is not accurate because Oklahoma didn't exist at that time. We could call it the "US Army Death March" but people might confuse it with the more well known Bataan Death March (isn't it funny how it's different when those dirty, rotten foreigners do it to us). How about "North Carolina White Trash and Rednecks After Gold Death March? No, too wordy - it'll never catch on. Same with "Five Civilized Tribes Death March". It has to be short and simple for the idiots to remember it, maybe something that rhymes. "Andrew Jackson's Death March" is pretty accurate, but that doesn't rhyme. I'm out of ideas, maybe somebody else will weigh in.
