Trail Of Tears

The Trail Of Tears was a forced resettlement in the 1830's by the United States Government which forced the five Civilized Native Americans Tribes Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek,  Choctaw, Seminole and other Tribal Nations from there homestead they occupied for generations in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida. They were forced to walk thousand of miles to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi.  Many African Americans wonder where some of  there Native American connections may come from. This map traces the paths the Native American Ancestors took. Each state has its own  Trail OF Tears Markers which can show you which city, state and county the markers are located in.
