Which statement correctly describes the Trail of Tears? A. It was the compulsory repatriation of freed black slaves to Liberia. B. It was the treacherous journey of Irish immigrants from New York to California. C. It was the ocean passage of kidnapped Africans sold into slavery in the New World. D.

Answer 1

D. 
this is because the Trail of Tears occurred after the Cherokee Indians brought Georgia to the supreme court to state that because they were not citizens of Georgia, the Indian Removal Act didn't apply to them, to witch the SC sided with them, but Georgia kicked them out and made them walk to western reservations on what is known as "The Trail of Tears"
