◾️ On May 28, 1830 the US Congress passed the infamous #IndianRemovalAct, which provided for the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans from the wealthy southeast of the nation to the then wild lands of the Great Plains.
This campaign went in history as the #TrailOfTears — an ethnic cleansing and forced relocation of American Indians from their native lands in the southeastern United States to the Indian Territory (current-day Oklahoma). The "Five Civilized Tribes" — the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw — traversed 9 states. Thousands of the Native Americans died on the Trail: the number of casualties suffered by the Cherokee alone is in the area of ~15'000 people.
