Trail of Tears

Trail of Tears

       Here's a wiki link on the subject with some maps included:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears

Poster's comments:

Where I live the effect was mostly on the Cherokee in east Tennessee.

But there are many other tribes affected that are discussed in the link above.

There's one more link about the Long Walk of the Navajo that the reader may also peruse:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Walk_of_the_Navajo

Now I focus on the future, but knowing the past is of interest, too.
