The picture on page below is the only known
picture that was ever painted about the forced march during 1838 to 1839 under Andrew Jackson's
Indian removal policy when Cherokee indians were
forced to leave all the land east of Mississippi
River. They were migrated to a area in present
day Oklahoma. Cherokee people called this the
"Trail Of Tears" because their people
saw hunger, disease, and faced exhaustion in a forced
march.. and.. 4,000 of 15,000 Cherokees on this forced march died during the march |
