Native
American Facts…
The Trail of Tears Resulted in
the Deaths of Thousands
In one
of the darkest chapters of U.S. history, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to
the forced relocation of tens of thousands of Native Americans from their
ancestral lands in the southeastern United States. The Cherokee, Muscogee
(Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations were among those affected.
The
grueling journey, known as the Trail of Tears, spanned over 5,000 miles and
took place under harsh conditions. Many Native Americans died from exposure,
disease, and starvation along the way.
It’s
estimated that of the 15,000 Cherokee who were forcibly removed, around 4,000
perished during the trek to present-day Oklahoma. This tragic event remains a
painful reminder of the injustices inflicted upon Native American communities.
