In 1838, the U.S. Government began to forcibly relocate thousands
of Cherokees from their homelands in Georgia to the Western
territories. The event the Cherokees called "The Trail Where They
Cried" meant their own loss of life, sovereignty, and property.
Moreover, it allowed visions of Manifest Destiny to contradict the
government's previous "civilization campaign" policy toward
American Indians. The tortuous journey West was one of the final
blows causing a division within the Cherokee nation itself, over
civilization and identity, tradition and progress, east and west.
The Trail of Tears also introduced an era of Indian removal that
reshaped the face of Native America geographically, politically,
economically, and socially. Engaging thematic chapters explore the
events surrounding the Trail of Tears and the era of Indian
removal, including the invention of the Cherokee alphabet, the
conflict between the preservation of Cherokee culture and the call
to assimilate, Andrew Jackson's "imperial presidency," and the
negotiation of legislation and land treaties. Biographies of key
figures, an annotated bibliography, and an extensive selection of
primary documents round out the work.
