During the Trail of Tears, a US soldier named John G. Burnett witnessed the removal of Cherokees from their homeland. Years late

r, he wrote a letter about this experience. Read this excerpt from the letter below:
I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west. . . . When the bugle sounded and the wagons started rolling many of the children rose to their feet and waved their little hands good-by to their mountain homes, knowing they were leaving them forever. Many of these helpless people did not have blankets and many of them had been driven from home barefooted.

On the morning of November the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on March the 26th, 1839, the sufferings of the Cherokees were awful. The trail of the exiles was a trail of death. They had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire. And I have known as many as twenty-two of them to die in one night of pneumonia due to ill treatment, cold, and exposure.

Based on this excerpt, how would you describe the experiences of the Cherokee during their removal?

List the three places lbj wanted to build the great society and explain at least one problem in each of these three places
timurjin [86]
The first place is the cities

He understood that cities were growing more and more and that it was necessary for a society that plans to prosper to invest in infrastructure and build new real estate, build things like highways, bridges, and similar things that would enable cities to grow and prosper and the people to live well. He knew this because people were moving into cities more and more. The problem in cities was high density and overpopulation.

The second is the countryside

He believed that all that is beautiful in America, things like rivers, mountains, national parks, forests, and similar, is riddled with pollution and he wanted to stop this and help the United States remain a beautiful and a healthy place to be in. He stated that if they lose the natural splendor of the US that they would never get it back again. The problem in nature was pollution.

The third were the classrooms

He believed that the citizens of the United States need to get educated and need to have easier access to higher education. He provided numerous details on how few people actually graduate from colleges or universities and how there is a high amount of people without a high-school diploma and similar things and wanted to educate people. The problem here is lack of education.
