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.

This was a forced marches of several tribes starting in 1831. The Choctaw became the first to be removed and their removal was a model for future relocations. After 2 wars the Seminoles were removed in 1832 and the Creek in 1834, Chickasaw in 1837, and finally the Cherokee in 1838. Along with the tribes were spouses, African Americans, and slaves. By 1837 46,000 Native Americans had been removed from their lands. This open 25 million acres for white settlers. The largest death toll comes from the forced relocation of the Cherokee. In 1838 the remaining Cherokee were rounded into camps and of over 700 people. Disease spread quickly throughout the closely quartered groups. The marchers were subject to violence along the route and they were forced to march in the hottest and coldest months. This killed many from exposure, disease, and starvation, harassment by local frontiersman, and lack of rations. Up to one-third of the Choctaw and others died on the march.

AnswerMany died of exposier to snow due to not having warm clothing. also not enough food. Native Americans, Cherokee's - Tof T...The plight of the Cherokee is (at least) one of the parts of Southeastern American Indian cultures that has 'some' documentation...Most early Americans were simply deemed too unimportant to even document...instead they were deemed a nuisance and too savage to be made into slaves...therefore most were exterminated in attacks and battles that make the Holocost seem timid...There is proof of yearly 'party gounds' in NC that go back nearly 10,000 years, where 100's of different tribes would meet and basically 'party, hunt, fry fish in large kettles, cook eat...and more party...but even today, it seems this part of human history is still not important enough to even slow down developer's bulldozers, as 9 years ago, just such a place was found outside of Raleigh, NC...excavation began immediately, by archeologists that were forced to work, 'literally' feet in front of bulldozers, backhoes and construction crews determined to stay 'on schedule...Today, there are numerous strip malls, housing developments, schools(?), and of course, MILES OF ASPHAULT & CONCRETE...only a miniscule fraction of artifacts from this important find could be located & safely removed before being covered over with developers' monetary gains...The trail of tears is documented quite well (considering) because of the later date when some literacy existed, combined with some compassion by a very limited number of people who werent completely morally and ethically bankrupt.Your best bet is the link below to get as detailed an answer as possible or as specific as you want. Keep in mind however , that Native American Indians are known to have flourished in the area where this discaceful display of inhumanity took place...We really don't know how long the original Americans had been here prior to European invasions, but that speaks to the Indian way of life and their views and useage of the land that gave them life...We have diffiiculty even finding traces of where they have been, because they left so little behind...in contrast, European and other cultures (Asian, middle eastern etc) have basically ruined a pristine county in an eyeblink of time as compared to the American Indians...it's also important to understand that they were equally intelligent and as advanced as any culture, but viewed this world, the land, its resources and other humans in a completely different way than the people with guns, hatred and fear in their hearts...because it was different from the way they had been taught. I think they would have accepted John Lennon and he would have enjoyed their company as well...but then he's dead too..huh?...hmmm...

No thought was given to the welfare of the Cherokee...they were non-persons. The government soldiers would appear without warning at a Cherokee front door and order the people inside the home, men women and children, to immediately vacate and take only what each could carry. They were forced marched to hastily constructed stockades like cattle and left to wait until all other Cherokee (not ONLY Cherokee) were thought to have been 'apprenended' and were then forced marched to the Mississippi River where they were ferried across into "Indian Territory" (generally Oklahoma). Many thousands died on this march due to starvation, cold, heat, disease and broken hearts.
