Trail of Tears

It is called The Trail of Tears, where the Cherokee Indians were taken when forced to move out of what is now Cherokee county.it went through lots of states it started in North Carolina and ended in Oklahoma. Lots of Cherokee died on the way to Oklahoma and lots got sick and murdered even it was cold and miserable that's why its sad. Many died and were full of misery,

In 1838 the U.S. government forced the Cherokee Nation (a Native American tribe) to move from the Southeast to present-day Oklahoma in a mass migration known as the Trail of Tears. The march was given that name because the Cherokees were being relocated against their will, and thousands died along the way or suffered subsequent hardship. This was the government's solution to conflicts that had increasingly arisen when white setters expanded westward and claimed land occupied by Native Americans. With the approval of U.S. President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) and under the direction of General Winfield Scott (1786-1866), federal troops escorted as many as 20,000 members of the Cherokee Nation from their tribal lands in Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. On treks lasting between 93 and 139 days, the Cherokees walked along an 800-mile (1,287-kilometer) trail that followed the Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi, and Arkansas Rivers to Indian Territory (later part of Oklahoma) north of the Red River. Rations were meager and an estimated 4,000 people-mostly infants, children, and the elderly-died en route from starvation, exposure, and such illnesses as measles, whooping cough, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. A thousand members of the Cherokee Nation managed to escape the Trail of Tears, however, by fleeing to the mountains of North Carolina, where they bought land and established settlements.

It all depends on which tribe you are referring to because of that fact that different tribes lived in different locations, hence there was more then one Trail of Tears. I've attached a pictured that shows the multiple trails, just click on the related link.

There is no specific proportion available as it would depend on various factors such as the individuals' physical condition, access to resources, and the specific winter conditions. Walking 800 miles in winter can be extremely challenging and dangerous, especially if adequate preparations are not made. It is advisable to consult historical data or specific studies for a more accurate estimation.

"I fought through the Civil War and have seen men shot to pieces and slaughtered by thousands, but the Cherokee removal was the cruelestand unbelievible work I ever knew. Now you fight or die."

It isn't exactly famous but it works I suppose.

It's on the link provied, the sixth quote down I think.

Andrew Jackson is associated with the Trail of Tears and the abolishment of the National Bank. As president, he signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which resulted in the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral lands. Jackson also vetoed the rechartering of the Second Bank of the United States in 1832 and eventually succeeded in dismantling it.

In 1838, the Cherokee people were forcibly removed from their lands in the Southeastern United States to the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in the Western United States, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 4,000 Cherokees.[24] In the Cherokee language, the event is called Nu na da ul tsun yi-"the Place Where They Cried". The Cherokee Trail of Tears resulted from the enforcement of the Treaty of New Echota, an agreement signed under the provisions of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which exchanged Native American land in the East for lands west of theMississippi River, but which was never accepted by the elected tribal leadership or a majority of the Cherokee people.

Yes, the Trail of Tears was a cruel and tragic event. Thousands of Native Americans were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands and subjected to grueling conditions during their forced march to designated territories. Many died from exposure, disease, and starvation along the way.

In mint shape about 450.00--in good shape about 350.00

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 ; see related link below .

I would say so.

because the Cherokee were forced to leave their homes, and about 4000 died on the march.

They believed if they didn't move peacefully, they would be moved by force.

In the Trail of Tears, about 4,000 of the 16,000 Cherokee Indians died to their new journey to Oklahoma from Georgia.

By getting permission to lead there people on the trails.

The Seminole tribe were the furthest from Oklahoma, and were the most distant tribe. A great portion of their journey was done by ship however, and the Cherokee were the furthest eastern tribe forced to walk the entire distance.

The Trail of Tears was a time of uncommon cruelty and misery. Thousands of men, women and children were driven from their homes simply because someone else wanted their land. They were powerless to defend themselves, and many died during the journey.

The President of the United States (Andrew Jackson) violated a court order from the United States Supremem Court and used federal law enforcement officials to remove the Cherokee. He had been ordered to protect them from the state militias. Arguably, no American president has ever shown such contempt for the rule of law.

yes they were apart of the trail of tears

The Cherokee Indians were treated very BADLY! Many of them died along the way.

The Cheeroke trail was 1500 miles trough the rain snow ect. barefoot. The trail of tears veried depending on ther tribe, while the cheeroke is just the most famous.

They made necklaces and stuff with beads, woven baskets, made dolls out of small pieces of cloth , moccasins and leather goods from deer hide

The Cherokee Indians, as most Native American tribes, do not name their babies when they are born. They give them names as the grow. Some Cherokee Indian baby girl names are Adahy, Aiyanna, Enola, Delsin, Magena, Nita, Nova, and Waki.
