      Introduction

      The Trail of Tears is a fascinating story that revolves around the forced removal of the Native Americans from their ancestral lands in the United States in the 19th century. The tale of Native Americans is one of the most famous genocide anecdotes in world history.

      Native Americans are known by various names such as Indigenous Americans, American Indians, and the Indigenous people of the United States (apart from Hawaii). They inhabited the entire region of the American continent and surrounding regions, right from the Arctic point to the tip of the southern American continent. Several tribes settled in one region and distributed parts of their land to live on and cultivate. During their time, they built temples to worship and developed a structured lifestyle pattern. Other tribes or nomads traveled across the flat lands of the continent.

      To understand the occurrence and consequences of the Trail of Tears, it is necessary to first learn about the significant parts of the history of Native Americans - where they came from, how they were controlled, and the consequences. It's also important to learn about the European settlers that invaded the Indian land and enforced brutal acts over the tribal people.

      This book will cover all aspects related to the removal of the Native Americans from their homelands, in detail. You will also gain an overview of their history, how they settled in their native lands, the role of American leaders in deciding their fate, and how the heinous removal act was later known as the Trail of Tears. The last chapter also provides an insight into the repercussions and the current scenario of the natives. Read on to find out.

      Chapter 1: History of the Native Americans

      This chapter covers the entire history of Native Americans - how they settled in their lands, how they grew, and how they were oppressed by the colonizers. It is necessary to understand their history before moving on to the Trail of Tears directly; this is because Native Americans have been marginalized to a great extent. Whether it is geographical or metaphorical, people have forgotten about the Native Americans. Those who know about it connect to their story with a sense of pity or revile.

      Also, this group of people formed a small percentage of groups that resisted oppression and fought for their freedom - not once, but multiple times. Moreover, Native Americans also displayed an example of how you could act in historical dominance and not be acted upon.

      Native Americans lived in the southern parts of the territory and occupied most of the fertile land for several generations. The name
