Cherokee Timeline

The Trail of Tears

1828- 38 AD

Gold is found within the boundaries of the Cherokee nation, and much conflict over the rightful ownership of the land, the Cherokee were forced to move from their homeland. This resulted in much outbreak of disease as well as death from starvation as many were kept in military stockades with little hygiene and feed unhealthy food for an entire summer. In the process at least 4,000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokee died, which is why this terrible time was named as 'The Trail of Tears.'
