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.

We're going to assume it is a standard-grade gun in typical condition, which would put it about $150. Really mint-condition Model 17 shotguns can bring $350-$400, especially if it has the solid rib. sales@countrygunsmith.net

How did the Indian removal act of 1836 led to the trail of tears in 1838?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Indian Removal Act pushed for and signed by Andrew Jackson(D), allowed him to negotiate the removal of Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi. At that time, it was thought that America would never expand beyond the Mississippi. Jackson used that Act to forcibly remove the Cherokee from their lands, illegally. It was one of many Trails of Tears.

How long was the Trail of Tears?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There was not exact date, but seeing as the trail was apromxitially 1,200 miles (2,00 km). To put that in perspective, picture walking from Boston, Mass. to New York City, and back 7 times!!! The average human walks at 4 to 5 miles an hour, but factor carring all your belongings, and doing this almost nonstop, and you may be down to 1 or 2. All in all, it took a little over 1 year to do that.

What role did president Jackson play during the trail of tears?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

President Andrew Jackson was the official who approved of the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

There were five major tribes: the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole. The Cherokee challenged the Indian Removal Act in the courts of the United States. It made its way up to the Supreme Court where it went under the supervision of John Marshall. He ruled the favor to the Cherokee. Note the Supreme Court could make the ruling but cannot enforce it, only the executive branch (the president) has the power to do so.

The president at that time, Andrew Jackson ignored the decision of the Supreme Court and stilled removed the Indians from their land.

The Arkansas Gazette quoted Thomas Harkins (A Choctaw) as saying "[it was] a trail of tears and death" it was most likely this quote that eventually lead to naming the act of removing the indians.

Was the trail of tears just or unjust?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 19th century saw the forced march of the Cherokee Tribe from the eastern part of the US to what is now Oklahoma. Despite court rulings, US President Andrew Jackson ignored them. This proud Native Tribe suffered greatly due to disease, starvation, violence and the long march. It was cruel and unjustified.

When did the forced relocation of American Indians called the Trail of Tears occur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The forced relocation of the Cherokee People called the Trail of Tears occurred in 1838. The United States Government had a history of mistreating the Red Man, but this was one of the most despicable acts perpetrated on Native Americans. Hit the link and read about it courtesy of our friends at Wikipedia. Suggestion: slide along the link and read just the first two paragraphs of the article. You'll be up to speed. And if the first two paragraphs doesn't cause you to at least skim the rest of the article, nothing will get you to do it.

What region of Indians were affected by the Indian Removal Act?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Andrew Jackson's Indian removal act impacted the lives of Native Americans in many ways. One of the ways it affected them was that many Native Americans died on their journey. For example 4,000 Cherokee Indians died on their way to the new Indian Territory because of diseases and starvation. The Cherokees called Andrew Jackson Sharp Knife. The Cherokees had a strong leader who had not yet given up the fight. They were led by the tough, and determined John Ross. From the beginning of Jackson's administration Ross urged his people to stand their ground and remain united. In a single week about 17,000 Cherokees were rounded up and herded into what was surely a concentration camp. Many sickened and died while they awaited transport to the west. In June the first contingent of about a thousand Indians boarded a steamboat and sailed down the Tennessee River on the first lap of their westward journey. Then they were boxed like animals into railroad cars. Again there were many deaths on account of the oppressive heat and cramped conditions in the cars. For the last leg of the journey the Cherokees walked. Small wonder they came to call this 800-mile nightmare 'The Trail of Tears.' Of the approximately 18,000 Cherokees who were removed, at least 4,000 died in the stockades along the way.
