"I fought through the War Between the States and have seen many men shot, but the Cherokee Removal was the cruelest work I ever knew." - Georgia soldier on the Trail of Tears
The "Five Civilized Tribes" are among the best known Native American groups in American history, and they were even celebrated by contemporary Americans for their abilities to adapt to white culture. But tragically, they are also well known tribes due to the trials and tribulations they suffered by being forcibly moved west along the "Trail of Tears".
Though the Trail of Tears applied to several different tribes, it is most commonly associated today with the Cherokee. The Cherokee began the process of assimilation into European America very early, even before the establishment of the Unites States, but it is unclear what benefits that brought the tribe. Throughout the colonial period and after the American Revolution, the Cherokee struggled to satisfy the whims and desires of American government officials and settlers, often suffering injustices after complying with their desires. Nevertheless, the Cherokee continued to endure, and after being pushed west, they rose from humble origins as refugees new to the southeastern United States to build themselves back up into a powerhouse both economically and militarily. The Cherokee ultimately became the first people of non-European descent to become U.S. citizens en masse, and today the Cherokee Nation is the largest federally recognized tribe in the United States, boasting over 300,000 members.

THIS IS A KEEPER By Vickie Woodard Yesterday's newspaper had an advertisement for the Pow Wow to be held at the Trail of Tears park the first weekend in September. There will be dancing, story telling, crafts, food and only Heaven knows what else. But for me there will be memories. Do people really take the time to understand how the park got its' name? If they did there would be less laughter.When Thomas Jefferson considered acquiring the Louisiana Purchase he made a list of reasons he wanted it. One of those reasons was to move the Native Americans away from the European settlers. Previously there was an unwritten agreement for Indians to settle between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River. TJ didn't know about the tribes west of the Mississippi, but I doubt that he cared. He just knew things were getting crowded in our New World and his constituents would be safer if he could move 'certain' people farther away. Let THEM worry about the new neighborhood.I've told you about this word I can't (and won't) spell before. What part of your crispy bacon do you like best, the meat or the fat? It's a good thing I have low cholesterol, because I like the fat. There's a word almost every tribe used (some still use) for the settlers and their dependents. It means steals the fat.In other words, the folks who were here first said the new guys wanted all the best parts for themselves. The five civilized tribes, the tribes who tried to help the new guys, who learned English, who learned to live side by side, who became guides, or worked with the army to protect the settlers from other tribes ( that would be the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Chocktaw, Creek and Seminole ). Many members of these tribes converted to Christianity. Some patterned their governments after our federal government.When soldiers moved in to forcibly remove them they filed legal suits with the Supreme Court. After all, a reservation is not state property, it's federal property.But since their government is not a foreign government, but a government they created, well, I'll let you guess. But I will tell you that President Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court and removed the Cherokee and everyone else. He created a brand new treaty with the Cherokee that HE signed, but that remains unsigned by any Cherokee representative to this day.My great-grandmother grew up in North Carolina. This book doesn't tell you how a reservation came to be established there (legally it's called a land trust. Picky, picky.) A Cherokee man named Tsali ( white books give his name as Charlie.) and his brothers told the soldiers they would help find the people who were hiding in the mountains. Instead he led them on a wild goose chase. That gave the people time to hide in caves the soldiers would probably never find. By the time the soldiers figured it out it was dark and they were already late for meeting the group down south.Tsali and his brothers were lynched. That story was passed down.The Cherokee were not the only ones to suffer. The government was so intent on getting the Seminoles l e out of Florida they had three wars with them. Did you read about that in your American history book? I sure didn'tThe Creek were told they could stay behind and sell their property. Do you really think THAT was the truth?Their tribe outlawed Christianity when a missionary, well, you just guess what the missionary did. Eventually God was allowed in their homes again. God, not missionaries.The most important part to read is the last several pages. It was written by a soldier who accompanied one of the tribes on their trip. That section shows you both the best and the worst of humanity.

The book also gives more Tribes who were part of this tragedy credit for their part in this inhumane treatment of man! We seem to be so sensitive to inhumane treatment of people of other nations today,Is'nt a shame no one was there to stop this inhumane treatment of the native Americans! It is also a tragedy that we still do not recognize that this was done to the native Americans nor has anyone tried to make up for what was done to them! I recently observed a sign where several native Americans, the sign stated " Go ahead and let the government take your guns, you do not remember how well it worked for us!"

Shaver This is another sad story about the plight of First Americans and their forced move from the Southern States to Indian Territory Okolona by General Winfield Scott with blessings from President Andrew Jackson. Indian men were arrested and driven into stockades; Women were dragged from their homes into stockades with the sky for blankest. The old were prodded with bayonets to hasten them into stockades over four thousand Cherokee’s Choctaw’s and Creek’s lost their lives in this forced evacuation, no wander it is called “The Trail of Tears” experienced by the Cherokee, Creeks, Choctaw who were forced to leave their ancestral hones and most of their possessions over eight thousand lost their lives but it was better than the genocide practiced by some solders and whites in the Plains and West. The forced removal from their original land is repeated time and time again by our government as soon as whites found riches or good land the Indians lost When Gold was found on Cherokee land Georgia passed laws restricting Cherokee rights to the land and authorized forced removal of them from their land. The Cherokees fought back by appealing to the president Andrew Jackson and Congress and sought an injunction to halt the repressive Georgia laws. The case was heard by the Supreme Court who was sympatric to the Cherokee’s problem. The court flip/flopped first refusing to hear the injunction then ruled that the Cherokee nation was a separate political entity the court overturned Georgia law on the basis that states were not authorized to negotiate the terms of use of Native American Lands. Both the state of Georgia and President Andrew Jackson ignored the ruling Jacksons quotes John Marshall has made his decision now let him enforce it. Jackson ignored what Marshal (the Supreme Court) said and moved ahead with the Indian Removal. This was a stunning and dangerous break with American Constitutional Law. Jackson had essentially argued that since the court had no way of enforcing its mandates, the President was free to do as he pleased. (Sound familiar?) The Cherokees were forced along three separate trails that utilized both overland and water routes and averaged 1,200 miles it was carried out by 7000 federal troops. The book documents another sad chapter on American Indian Policy.
