Detailed explanation-1: -Guided by policies favored by President Andrew Jackson, who led the country from 1828 to 1837, the Trail of Tears (1837 to 1839) was the forced westward migration of American Indian tribes from the South and Southeast. Land grabs threatened tribes throughout the South and Southeast in the early 1800s.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail commemorates the removal of the Cherokee and the paths that 17 Cherokee detachments followed westward.
Detailed explanation-3: -The forced relocations and ethnic cleansings of the Indian nations have sometimes been referred to as “death marches", in particular when referring to the Cherokee march across the Midwest in 1838, which occurred via a predominantly land route. Indians who had the means initially provided for their own removal.
Detailed explanation-4: -A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy. During the fall and winter of 1838 and 1839, the Cherokees were forcibly moved west by the United States government. Approximately 4, 000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as the “Trail of Tears."
