WHAT WAS THE TRAIL OF TEARS?

<em>The Trail of Tears was a walk that Native Americans were forced to go on after being forced out of their homes.</em>

Explanation:

The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830 and meant that Native Americans who were in the way of westward expansion had to move. The United States had just acquired new land to the west and wanted to start expanding that way. This new land was amazing for farmers, as the land was mostly bare and the soil was full of nutrients.

President Andrew Jackson wanted to move the Cherokee to where present-day Oklahoma is located. Some Native leaders ended up going peacefully, but still, some obviously did not want to move from their sacred grounds. Years later, some of the Native Americans still had not moved, so Jackson threatened them and said he would send an army to drive them out. In 1838, Andrew Jackson had done what he had promised and sent an army to make them leave and walk their way to where present-day Oklahoma is located.

This walk that the Native Americans had to go on is called the Trail of Tears. Both the old and young were forced to walk in terrible conditions, often being treated badly by the white soldiers along the way. Many were not allowed to gather up their things before they had left, leaving many without proper food or water. Starvation, disease, and exhaustion was a common cause of death on the Trail of Tears, killing 4,000 Cherokee along the way.

I believe that the system that is being spoken of is imperialism.

Imperialism is a nations desire to claim territory through economic control through both diplomatic and violent tactics. Although militarism has a very similar definition, it only relies on military control and not any diplomatic influence.
