Question
- the trail of tears is an example of which of the following? a. forced relocation b. treaty negotiation c. cultural assimilation d. disease outbreak
The Trail of Tears refers to the forced removal of Native American tribes, such as the Cherokee, from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present - day Oklahoma) in the 1830s. This was a result of the Indian Removal Act. It was not a treaty negotiation (which implies a more consensual agreement - making process), cultural assimilation (which would involve taking on the culture of another group), or a disease outbreak (though many Native Americans did die on the journey due to harsh conditions, the main event was the forced movement).
