Trail of Tears blog reflection



What I am going to talk about is the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was held in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and North Carolina. There was a removal of the Cherokees to the west. It was sad for the people on the Trail of Tears because they had to move out of their homes that they stayed for a very long time. There were lots of people on the Trail of Tears and lots of Indians and other people and animals that went with them died on the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee’s land is special and if the Cherokee leave the land the Cherokee will feel like they will die If they leave the land. It is special to them. The Cherokees don’t want to leave the land, but the white people made a treaty with the Cherokees that said that they would have to leave the land so they can find gold on the land and the Cherokee have to move west.


                                                                                       
The Cherokee people

On the Trail of Tears

Sad

Getting treated horribly

Getting dragged

Out of homes

To the stockades

Lots of walking

Very far away

To the west

People dying

Along the way

From their homes

That they lived for a long time
