In which decade was the Trail of Tears, the forced migration of Native Americans from the southeastern United States to the newly created "Indian Territory"?
Answer 1830s
One of the greatest abominations in American History, the Trail of Tears was a forced relocation of an estimated 100,000 indigenous people from their homes in the southeastern U.S. Although most associated with Cherokees, the Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole nations were also affected. Approximately 15,000 people died along the way. Why? Greed. In 1829, gold was discovered on Cherokee lands in Georgia. Enough said.
