The Tragic Story of the Trail of Tears

#trailoftears #nativeamericanhistory #indigenousrights #tragic #history #AmericanHistory #NativeAmerican #Short

In this video, we discuss the Trail of Tears, a tragic event in American history where Native American tribes were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands and marched thousands of miles to Oklahoma. The journey was grueling, and many lost their lives due to hunger, disease, and exposure. This dark chapter in American history affected over 100,000 indigenous people and left a permanent stain on the country's fabric.

Thanks for watching!

Horrible. I’m not Native American but I support giving them land back, reparations etc. Justice needs to be served.

Just remember. The political commentary community doesn't consider this racist.

If this is a trail of tears, i wonder what the genocide in Gaza will be called?

"Even thoug this dastardly draconian act was touched off by President Andrew Jackson, his Vice, Martin Van Buren, who later became President, right after Jackson, completed the inglorious act." -Mike Okereke

What gave the invaders from overseas the right to treat the natives like that? I can’t understand this, it’s evil!

[Elsorkora]

I believe that America should give The Native Indians back land, afterall before the white man came the Indians lived in peace and harmony with Mother Earth.

Also some kind if acknowledgement should be given so that people don't forget "The Trial If Tears", for all the Native American Indians suffered st the hands of the white man.

Then maybe Justice will finally given back to the Native American Indians.

I’m not sure why this story holds much more sorrow than most others in our history. Many were sent and died along the way. Yet many also remained in the SE US. I’ve often wondered why many were sent to their deaths and why some were not. How did they decide who could stay? What criteria was used to decide?

[maryearll]

Not one of the USA's finest hours.

[georgeperez-stillwagon]

And Black Americans thought they had it bad.
