The Trail Of Tears Part of the Indian Removal Act Forced Native Americans From Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee to designated “Indian Territory” a few thousand miles away “Indian Territory” was what is now Oklahoma Happened during Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren’s presidencies JAckson wanted their land for the gold that was in the area Many tribes accepted the move except for the Cherokees, they even went through the American Justice System and won the case. Jackson overruled this decision anyways and they were forced off their land Lasted from 1838-1839 Native Americans traveled along several different routes Native Americans traveled in wagons, on foot, on horseback, or steamboat to get to the reserves About 25% of Native Americans sent on the trip died Many Native Americans died from malnutrition, pneumonia, and exposure The Native Americans were separated into 13 groups Each group had about 1,000 people in it Not all Native Americans were opposed to moving west and not all white people supported it Fun Facts: Part of the trail goes through Springfield, Missouri Andrew Jackson said; “My only two regrets in life are that I did not hang Calhoun and shoot Clay.” Route 66 partially follows the trail from Rolla to Springfield, missouri Why it was important: Claire The Trail of Tears was important because it was a very influential event in history. It forced Native Americans out of their homelands and onto special property set aside for them. This was a very drastic way to relocate the Native as they were taken from their homes by force. It was cruel and unusual punishment for no reason and inhumane, but it shows us the prejudices that people have. Jacob I thought The Trail of Tears was important because it demonstrated the power and checks and balances system of the US Government. Although the decision was controversial, it displayed the president’s power and right to overrule decisions if they deemed it fit. Why and how influenced history: Some Native Americans still live on reserves today Shows prejudice against Native Americans Opens our eyes to the cruelty and rough conditions that people all around the world endure Influenced history because it was a major event Had lasting effects Shocking and unfair Martin Van Buren forcefully removed Native Americans, Andrew Jackson wrote Indian Removal policies "I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west....On the morning of November the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on March the 26th 1839, the sufferings of the Cherokees were awful. The trail of the exiles was a trail of death. They had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire. And I have known as many as twenty-two of them to die in one night of pneumonia due to ill treatment, cold and exposure..." (Cherokees of California, History Quotes) Private John G. Burnett Cherokee Indian Removal 1838-39 Captain Abraham McClellan's Company, 2nd Regiment, 2nd Brigade, Mounted Infantry "No eastern tribe had struggled harder or more successfully to make white civilization their own. For generations the Cherokee had lived side by side with whites in Georgia. They had devised a written language, published their own newspaper, adopted a constitution, and a Christian faith. But after gold was discovered on their land, even they were told they would have to start over again in the West."
