Americans nowadays love telling people to go back to their countries when this only happened 200 years ago.
the biggest illusion is that people think that 200 was a long time ago and its in the past.. 200 was LIKE YESTERDAY
They always say remember Pearl Harbor, it's not that long ago. Lol
@@Go4Broke247 Peral harbour is nothing before this..i don't know the rich history of natives and brutality of US gov until Sadhguru is took an ride across america to meet all these native chiefs.
Lol they lied about everything in school lol
How is what happened 200 years ago relevant? America is the most free country in the world because of our past leaders. If you want to live under communism move to Venezuela or something
This is such a soft version of what actually happened.

I have a great great great great grandmother that was on that trail. My great great great great grandfather was a soldier on the trail though, way down in Arkansas.

Love u too. Oco
Im not Cherokee, im Apache, but any other tribe are my family, i love you! ❤
FYI, it was named "the trail of tears " because of the many hastily dug graves along the rout. The indians were on a forced march. one third of the 15k Cherokee died along the way. The shallow graves were in the shape of tear drops.

@@williamkimmer6221 Your Cherokee as Elizabeth Warren, and Chuck Norris, so quit saying your Cherokee, without any evidence to prove it. Every Anglo-Americans(and other times Black Afro-Americans) say their great grandmother is Cherokee, including Elizabeth Warren, who only has 0.01% Amerindian blood in her ancestry, and you probably have that one drop of Amerindian blood, just as she does. I am not telling you this to defend Cherokees. What is so proud being a Cherokee, when they Genocidally Replaced several other Amerindian tribes, such as the Weapeamocs, Chowanokes, and Appalachees?
Why?

Thank you, - cherokee native from tulsa Oklahoma.
"God bless natives Americans!" is kind of weird considering that native Americans didn't believe in the Christian god AND they were forced out and killed or forcibly converted by the Europeans who stole their lands. The Spanish forced the natives to convert or die and similar stuff happened when the English arrived.

I remember when I was in high school, our football team used to go to Cherokee for our Spring Football Camp and get ready for the pre-season. That is a very beautiful place, sucks that they don't like black folk too much there though.
Which is crazy
The Cherokee phrase is "The place where the tears fell." A Choctaw chief (which one is lost to history) is quoted as saying "It was a trail of tears and death" to an Alabama reporter several years prior. I don't know why that bothers me so much.
Rob Gorman lol Cherokees betrayed america? Who died and made you king??
No mention made of the Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw or Seminole. I'm surprised the Cherokee don't have a trademark for the Trail of Tears.
Missed the mark on the overall impact, as there were many more tribes forced to Oklahoma on the "Trail of Tears"' not just Cherokees
In particular, it was mainly the "Five Civilized Tribes" as the United States called them. These are the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole.
@@RockSmithStudio Andrew Jackson adopted a Muscogee/Creek child name Lyncoya.
Hopefully humans will learn from their countless mistakes. Sadly, I doubt it. This kind of thing has been going on since dawn of civilization.

I have always been told that i am part Cherokee or that i am Cherokee or that i have more Cherokee blood in me then my dad but i never had it tested but others have seen the Cherokee part of me because of my face or whatever I am glad to be Cherokee/American wish i could do some traditions that involves cherokee but that'd probably raise my social Anxiety up really high but anyways I loved the vid and i love learning so much about the Cherokee and what we are etc
I have a trail of tears landmark on the dirt road I live on out here in Oak Hill, Oklahoma "Town outside of Broken Bow, OK" And the road is definitely haunted. I didnt see a red line come through where I live, I would just like to know the facts. I am Mississippi Choctaw. Whole family is in Southeast Oklahoma
This was worse than slavery and you dont see people going around Native Indians Lives Matter. They are proud people. They turned around a horrible situation and now should be recognized as the real Americans. They also helped win WW 1 and 2
What we did to the Indians is despicable. We broke every treaty we signed with them.
as being part native american i find it disrespectful that that they are teaching people such a light version of what happened
I am very proud of be Native American Cherican this is Indian land Aho RIP
Aho
I am always had a silent moment when drove on the highway of the South.
My great grand mother was on the trail lf tears. Wish I could find a way for me to become a member of the great cherokee nation. If anyone has any ideas please pass it on my way. I'm on disability so money is really tight. Love to all.
Go to one of the offices or call, they will help you!

Two seconds in to this I started crying. We do not deserve this land.
madge undersee Then willingly give up the deed to your property to a native free of charge.
Yeah it's sad, but that is life. Look at history. Rooted in conflict, conquest, etc. Mongols, Turks, Muslims, Chinese, Romans, Greeks, Spanish Inquisition, etc etc. it's not just an "American" thing. Human beings are selfish af and desire control. Always have been, always will. The only thing we can do is accept it and try to find a way to move on together.
@@axelfoley1406 The irony is, these settlers thought they were morally superior and that they were the civilized ones. Good god fearing Christians right, but no, after so much war and suffering in the world, they learnt nothing. They tried taking the whole world over. This is the irony and tragedy of the white man, and us all. They should've known better, with all that Jesus posturing.

All of these other commenters are wrong, it was probably because of the Battle of New Orleans. Battle Layout: British Forces: Leader: Major General Sir Edward Pakenham Strength: 8,000 British Soldiers (Grenadiers + Regulars) Casualties: 285 Dead, 1,265 Wounded, 484 missing or captured. (The Americans were in moderately fortified positions, really just a farm with a stone wall.) ==================================================================================================================================================== American Forces: Leader: Major General Andrew Jackson Strength: 5,700 Soldiers Casualties: 13 dead, 30 wounded, 19 missing or captured ==================================================================================================================================================== Keep in mind the British at this point in time (1815) were seen as the world's best empire. And this is only 20 or so years after the American revolution meaning we were still rather weak. Andrew Jackson was a war hero, and defended our nation against foreign invasion, though of course, he ended up doing the 'Tear of Trails' which is unfortunate, I just wish people would study more history instead of saying the ol' "America is bad and sucks".
This scares me
This is sad

My great grandmother was cherokee. The only savage was Jackson. That horror never should have happened.
Many Cherokee are related to Black Dutch / German and Irish, as those lands were natively Swarthy....However whites and blacks of every non-catholic nation were slaughtered equally causing the initial migration west, before business settlements followed

Is the trail of tears refer to the half breeds dying?
Something so little, by comparison the Holodomor and The Armenian genocide are still denied by those countries that carried them out. America today is truly a land of freedom, and respect for individual human rights.
Unless you're anything other than a straight, white man, then you still won't have your rights respected. America is far from the land of the free, it's a third world country only considered first world because of its wealth. It's a hellhole for anyone living in it, unless you're rich of course.
Not really. Parts of the states are just as bad as some third world countries. People don't want to look at the truth but it's right there. America is barely hanging on by it's teeth and with it's Pluto Return happening this year it's in for a lot more destructionm
