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.

Was Trail of Tears necessary for the development of the south?

This is most likely more of a person's opinion. In my belief, technically it was necessary, though the Europeans had no right to do such a thing.

Did Buffalo Soldiers protect Mormons Trail of Tears?

No. This is a very confusing question because of the terms that you use, i.e. 'Buffalo Soldiers' & 'Mormon' 'Trail of Tears', but after you break it down, it isn't confusing, just different dates. When the 'Buffalo Soldiers' were organized in 1866 the 'transcontinental railroad' was well on its way across Nebraska and the need for wagon trains to go west would end. The first trek west for the Mormons was in 1847. The time frame of each event is as follows:

1. Trail of Tears. 1831-1838

2. Mormons first move west. 1847

3. Buffalo Soldiers first organized. 1866

4. Transcontinental Railroad. 1863-1869

Buffalo Soldiers originally were members of the U.S. 10th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, formed on September 21, 1866 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The nickname was given to the "Negro Cavalry" by the Native American tribes they fought; the term eventually became synonymous with all of the African-American regiments formed in 1866.

The Trail of Tears is a name given to the relocation and movement of Native American nations from southeastern parts of the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The removal included many members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, and Choctaw nations, among others in the United States, from their homelands to Indian Territory (eastern sections of the present-day state of Oklahoma). The phrase originated from a description of the removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831. Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease and starvation en route to their destinations. Many died, including 4,000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokee. In 1831 the Choctaw were the first to be removed, and they became the model for all other removals. After the Choctaw, the Seminole were removed in 1832, the Creek in 1834, then the Chickasaw in 1837, and finally the Cherokee in 1838.

Is the Trail of Tears made out of tears?

No, this is a metaphor. The Trail of Tears was such a horrible chapter in US history. Thousands of people from the tribes who were force relocated died along the way. They were treated so poorly, and pushed so hard, that the various routes taken were collectively known as "The Trail Where We Cried" by those who were forced to walk it. Later, the name was shortened to The Trail of Tears.

What is the value of a Remington Model 1100 serial N585633V?

Depending on what gauge and condition, between 250 and 450 on up. I saw a really nice 1970-ish looking 16 gauge with serial number ending in "W" indicating 16 gauge per Remington customer service for $350. The same dealer had one in fair condition for $450 with a longer 12 gauge barrell with a fine rail on the barrel. I have one ending in "V" indicating 12 gauge and I just paid $300 for it in decent condition. I asked Remington today and they said it was made in 1966. I have seen mine online for around 185-450.
