Trail of tears

The Trail Of Tears was the forcible relocation of the Native Americans, like the  The Cherokee, the Chickasaw, the Choctaw, the Creek, and the Seminoles. In 1838 it was in Red Clay, Tennessee, They got to use blankets from a hospital in Tennessee. Most of the Native Americans died before arriving because in their way they got hungry and started to starve, they mostly died of starvation. They were basically the ones that got affected by the Trail Of Tears because in their way they had to cross in the harsh winters and cold rains. They suffered starvation disease and tiredness, about 40,000 Natives out of 15,000 died and didn't even get to know where they were going to migrate to. The Trail Of Tears was the relocation of Native Americans because the Cherokee was forced to give up their land east of the Mississippi River and migrate in a area near Oklahoma. The reason that the Cherokee's were forced to move and migrate of a other place is called the (The Removal Act.) if the Cherokee's tried to bury a dead relative they would be shot, I don't think that is fair for the relatives because they are just trying to protect their bodies from bieng founded, that is what i think about the bad that it would be for soldiers to shoot at them, but that is my opinion. Something that i really liked about the Trail Of Tears was their bravery. Even though they were mostly all men but still to walk and to try to hold their starvation that they had they are pretty brave. They fought threw diseases and most other bad things but some still settled to survive.
