WHAT WAS THE TRAIL OF TEARS?

History

<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.

Why did Italy become the birthplace for the renaissance movement
AnnZ [28]
There are three main reasons why the Renaissance was kickstarted in Italy. 

Geographical Location:

<span>The city-states of Italy were situated upon peninsulas and islands which made trade very easy. It was spurred by the Crusades and led to the growth of large city-states in northern Europe. This meant that northern Italy was quite urban as compared to the rest of Europe which was still rural. Cities served as platforms to exchange ideas and proved to be a facilitator for an intellectual revolution. When the bubonic plague hit in the 1300s, economic changes were brought about. Because of the decreased amount of laborers, survivors were in demand and could, therefore, demand higher wages. Merchants then began to pursue other interests (art) with fewer opportunities to expand. </span>

Greek & Roman Scholars:

<span>Scholars looked down upon the art and literature of the Middle Ages. They wanted to return to the learning of the Greeks and Romans. The artists and scholars of Italy drew inspiration from the ruins of Rome that surrounded them. The Western scholars also studied ancient Latin manuscripts that had been preserved in monasteries. Christian scholars in Constantinople also fled to Rome with Greek manuscripts when the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453. </span>

Merchants and the Medici family:

<span>In each city-state, a wealthy merchant class developed. City-states such as Milan and Florence were quite small which meant more citizens could be involved in political life. Merchants did not inherit social rank like nobles did and had to use their wits and knowledge to succeed in business. They were extremely successful at politics too and as a result, successful merchants believed they deserved this power and wealth. They began to value individual achievement. With Florence in particular, the city-state had a republican form of government in the late 1200s. But during the beginnings of the Renaissance, Florence came to be under the rule of the powerful banking family - the Medici family. The family bank of Medici had offices throughout Italy and major cities of Europe. Cosimo de Medici was incredibly wealthy, not only as an Italian, but as a European. He won over Florence's government and influenced members of the ruling council by giving them loans. He served as the dictator for Florence for 30 years. After he died, his family continued to control Florence. The Medici family supported artists such as Michelangelo by sponsoring them. </span>



<span>All in all, Italy was had the economic and political power to allow new ideas to sprout and trade to spur, this igniting the Renaissance as a movement.</span>
