The Trail of Tears Memorial at the New Echota Historic Site. The Trail of Tears was a series of forced relocations of Native American nations in the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
The forced removal of the Cherokee in 1838-39 from their homelands in the east to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) is known as the Trail of Tears or The Trail Where They Cried. Of the 16,000 Cherokees who were herded into stockades and marched west by U.S. troops, about 4,000 died of disease, exposure, or fatigue.
