The Trail of Tears
The Trail of Tears is the trail the Cherokee walked when Jackson kicked them off their land. It is called the Trail of Tears because many people died and their families could not help, but to shed tears. -
Period: to
The Trail of Tears starts and ends
At this time, the Cherokee began to move towards present day Oklahoma, so Jackson can get new land. They were quite mad at Jackson, for they were his allies during the Battle of Horse Shoe Bend. -
The End of The Trail
At last! The Cherokee have arrived in their land (for now, at least). But now, they have to rebuild their society, their home, their community etc. This could be good, though. They get to change all their mess ups, add changes, and do what they need or want.
