Question

In what year were American Indians forced to march on the Trail of Tears?

Answer 1

The Trail of Tears refers to the forced relocation of American Indians from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to designated "Indian Territory" west of the Mississippi River. This tragic event primarily took place during the 1830s, with the most infamous march occurring in 1838-1839. The process of removal began earlier, with various tribes being affected at different times, but the Trail of Tears specifically is most closely associated with the Cherokee Nation's forced march in 1838.
