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 it right or wrong for Andrew Jackson to make the trail of tears?
This question can only lead to debate, and there are as many opinions on the matter as there are people willing to give them. Given in this answer are at least two of the popular opinions behind why it was wrong, and why it was not wrong - in no particular order:
Not Wrong:
Andrew Jackson didn't "make" the Trail of Tears, but he set into motion the factors that allowed it to happen. President Jackson was a veteran Indian fighter and was against allowing the tribes as separate nations within individual states. When GA tried to gain control over the Cherokees the Supreme Court upheld the rights of the Native Americans. For Jackson, the only solution seemed to be the removal of the Eastern Indians to the Great Plains West. He pushed the scheme as the most just and humane alternative. The Native Americans were to exchange their lands for tracts in the "wilds" beyond the Mississippi in what is now OK. There they would assured that they could live with no further encroachment by the white men. In 1830 Congress made this policy into law, but new permanent frontier would only last 15 years before more settlers came. More than 100,000 Native Americans were moved in the 1830's and part of that was when the "Trail of Tears" took place.
Wrong:
Andrew Jackson first committed an act of Treason by violating a treaty taken under Article 6 of the US Constitution (all Indian treaties are made a part of the US Constitution by this article, and also requires an oath to support that same constitution by the same article) such treaties promised that the natives holding the lands taken would not be taken; Jackson ignored these and forced the removal.
Andrew Jackson was no different than Hitler in responsibility for acts of his juniors, under laws he passed, policies he put in place, acts he condoned, and public incitement to commit such acts; The International Court of Justice has said such during the war crimes trials of WWII and this was not a new law, it was a very old law. It is a rule of law that a Senior Officer is guilty of the same crime committed by a junior officer, if the senior learns of the crime and fails to prosecute the junior - this is the very nature of a conspiracy to commit an act, or condoning an act. The Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears started in 1831 and lasted till 1838, Jackson was president from 1829 - 1837, so 7 of the 8 years was under his command.
Jackson also called for "Ethnic Cleansing" (Genocide), and openly supported this policy of genocide against native Americans. In modern law, modeled after ancient international law, Genocide is: any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy in whole, or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. Acts punishable include: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.
It was wrong and an injustice to the Native American population. It violated every treaty and promise of the United States to Native Americans. It was genocide in it's truest form.

Did Sacagawea walk in the trail of tears?
No. Sacajawea (whose name is also variously spelled Sacagawea or Sakakawea) was of the Lemhi Shoshone tribe originally, but was kidnapped and raised by the Hidatsa; she grew up in what it today North Dakota. She went with Lewis & Clark on their expedition from Saint Louis to Oregon and back, and served as a guide, an interpreter, and someone whose presence demonstrated to the native peoples that they had nothing to fear from the two explorers. The Trail of Tears was a forced relocation of the Choctaw and other tribes; it took place beginning in 1831, nearly 20 years after she had died.

Why was the Cherokees' last treaty a sham?
Because they eventually started stealing land from the Cherokees.
Answer 2:
________________________________________________
The treaty of New Echota was intended to steal land from the Cherokee, even though the treay before that one promised that the US Government would not take any more land. The Cherokee tribe refused to sign the treaty, so the US Government asked a few US Citizens to sign it on behalf of the tribe (for money) and they did. The US Supreme Court found that the treaty was invalid; but that did not stop the government from taking the land anyway.

How did the Trail of Tears affect the Apaches?
The Trail of Tears did not directly affect the Apache. The policies promoted by the actions surrounding the Indian Removal Act affected the Apache. Those polices were a "Scorched Earth" policy; kill them all, kill their food, kill the women and children, etc.
After what war did the trail of tears happen?
The Trail of Tears is a truly a regrettable and a shameful time in America history and is due in large part by greed of settlers. In the pursuit of gold and really had nothing to do with acquiring land. The Cherokee had long called western Georgia home and they in fact tried to assimilated many European-style customs, including the wearing of clothing. They built roads, schools and churches, had a system of representational government, and were farmers and cattle ranchers. To answer your question it was The War of 1812
The Remington Model 11 was a "Browning A-5" Made under licence agreement by Remington on the Browning patent. It's value on the market in general (from my observation) is quite a bit less the the Actual Browning. It depends largely on it's age and condition, (like all older guns). If it's in poor condition it's still worth around $200 to sombody. If is in excellent condition it could fetch $600-700 easily. Most bring $300-500. There are many varibles, or Grades, Ventilated rib barrel is a plus, 16 Gauge is a plus to me, fancy scrolling (other than the standard grass and bird dog and dog and grouse, "opposite side") will defenitely increase the price. (Please don't take the description of the standard scrolling too literal, I wasn't looking at one) If it's heavily scrolled, or has some gold inlay on a part of the decor (bird dog, whatever) It's a higher grade. I would have to have more description and or pictures to give you any better information. "It's a good shooter for sure" (If it's not falling apart) Ps: These were the grandfathers of the auto loading shotgun, invented by John M. Browning. They are great pieces of history. There weak point is the forearm. If you overtighten the retaining nut, shooting will cause cracks to form at the rear of the forearm (usually at 5 o'clock and 7'oclock positions) Due to the sliding barrel gas reloading system. Tighten the forearm nut three clicks only, (trust me it clicks) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! TERRY (DaddyGeezer@comcast.net)
Why did the Cherokee's cry on the Trail of Tears?
The Cherokee people were given a very easy choice before the Trail of Tears, either:
1) Leave their tribal Homelands without any clothing or personal possessions at gunpoint, or 2) Be shot and killed.
