Trail of Tears

The Trial of Tears is a long, sad stretch of road, that many Indians walked across. The Indian Removal Act that President Jackson signed, was to drive the Indians off their land. Most of the Indians were sent east of the Mississippi River to Oklahoma. Though many people were against the new Act it was passed any way. Life on the Trial of Tears was horrible for the Indians. There were many sicknesses, many sorrows, and many troubles. Maybe we can learn something from the Indians. Maybe that’s to never give up.
