Website

http://my-bankruptcy-help.com/?b=Trail_of_Tears I reached this website through Google Scholar. This site includes the legal background, Choctaw voluntary removal, Seminole resistance, Chicasaw monetary removal, and Cherokee forced relocation. The site also provides information of references, documents, documentaries, and external links. It is the most helpful site I have found in explaining the Trail of Tears. There is a lot more information on this site than I have found on any other. Hope this is helpful to anyone wanting to know about the Trail of Tears.

Basics

Before being shoved out, the Cherokee Indians had much outside influence. The women were wearing gowns.The men were building roads, schools, and churches. Some were farmers and cattle ranchers. They even had their own alphabet.
The "Indian Removal Act" was passed in 1830. Most Americans were against the act, including Davy Crockett. That was no matter to the Congress. Quckly, President Jackson made the bill a law. The Trail of Tears for the Cherokees began.
