Below is the only known
picture ever painted about "Trail of tear's" forced march ... it was during 1838 to 1839, under Andrew Jackson's
Indian removal policy, 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. (4,000 of the 15,000 Cherokees forced on this march to Oklahoma died) |
