The Trail of Tears was a series of forced relocations of Native Americans, resulting in death marches through harsh conditions and the loss of thousands of lives.

Shownotes Transcript

Too many Americans think the Trail of Tears was just some difficult nature walk. Like, one path that a bunch of Native Tribes hiked to get from point A to point B. In reality, it was a death march through wild forests and raging rivers. Native Americans had to battle the unforgiving summer sun, harsh winters, brutal diseases, food shortages and abuse from the American Military meant to guide and protect them.
