In 1830 the United States congress passed the “Indian Removal Act.” Many people had not liked the act. The Tennessee congressman Davy Crocket passed the act anyway. The current President Andrew Jackson had also quickly signed the bill into law. My Cherokee ancestors had tried to fight the removal laws legally by challenging it in the Supreme Court. The Cherokee went through hardship after hardship after hardship while being removed from their homelands. Many lost their will to live or died of illnesses. Others either died of the effect of the weather or of starvation.

ReplyDeleteI like the picture that you chose. It shows us that there is still evidence of the Trail of Tears today. You forgot your sources though.
