The Trail of Tears: A Forced Migration Story of the Cherokee People in 1838

The Trail of Tears marks a dark chapter in American history, where over 16,000 Cherokee were forcibly removed from their homes in Georgia in 1838. The Indian Removal Act initiated this tragic migration, leading to a harrowing trek to present-day Oklahoma. Many endured harsh conditions, with approximately 15% succumbing along the way. This presentation explores the historical context, the resilience of the Cherokee people, and the significant cultural implications of this forced relocation.
