The Trail of Tears

(one paragraph)
What region(s) of Georgia did the event take place in?

1 answer

The Trail of Tears refers to the forced removal and relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States, including Georgia. The event primarily took place in the northern part of Georgia, where the Cherokee Nation had significant settlements and agricultural lands. The forced removal began in 1838 and continued into 1839, with thousands of Cherokees being uprooted from their homes and forced to march westward to areas designated as Indian Territory, now present-day Oklahoma.
