<em>Around 2,200 miles.</em>
Explanation:
The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830, this meant that many Native Americans had to move from their tribal lands to what is now present-day Oklahoma. If they did not move, they would have to be forcefully removed by the United States military and unfortunately, that was the case for many.
A lot of the Natives realized they did not stand a chance against the United States government, so they left by themselves and tried to avoid confrontation. Many of the Cherokee Natives did not want to move and even tried begging to stay in their homeland. The United States government did not budge and wanted to still move them to Oklahoma in order to expand.
Eventually, the Cherokee Natives were forced out and had to walk 2,200 miles to what is now Oklahoma, this walk is known as the Trail of Tears. The Native Americans were walked at gunpoint and many of them ended up dying from disease, weather conditions, dehydration, and other factors.
Answer:
Cherokee leader John Ross sent a a letter to Abraham Lincoln in 1862. In this document, Ross stated that the growing pressure over his people forced them to support the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Also, he claimed for the Union to ratify the existing treaties in order to maintain the inegrity and welfare of the Cherokee Nation. Ross however, stated that his people supported the Union cause.
A second source of the letter is the analysis that you can find in the book "The Cherokee Diaspora" by Gregory Smithers which provides new elements over the motivation of Ross when wrote the letter and also the deep division within the Cherokees.
By reading the book, the readers can find the motivations why Ross and a part of the Cherokee nation were reluctant to side one of the factions during the Civil War. Also, readers can understand what happened aftermath and the consequences still remained until 21st century.
