From PBS:  “The Cherokee would call it Nu-No-Du-Na Tlo-Hi-Lu, "The Trail Where They Cried." On May 26, 1838, federal troops forced thousands of Cherokee from their homes in the Southeastern United States, driving them toward Indian Territory in Eastern Oklahoma. More than 4,000 died of disease and starvation along the way.”  This is the story of the Trail of Tears, where the Cherokee were forced to march from their native land in the Southeast, to Eastern Oklahoma.  See how negotiations between the Cherokee and the US Government led to the Trail of Tears.
