Abstract

The paper addresses a bitter reality of American history. A detailed history of a Native American nation has been discussed in this paper. Amongst those numerous cultural groups, was a prominent social sphere known as Cherokee. The Cherokee nation is believed to be the settler or dweller of the southern region of the country which is primarily now known as Georgia, Tennessee and Carolina, besides Kentucky.

These migrations claimed many lives and left an indelible impact on the minds of the survivors. Trail Of Tears
