[00:00:00]History books call it an unfortunate event, but let's call it what it actually was, a state-sponsored atrocity. In 1838, the Cherokee Nation had a constitution, a written language, and successful businesses. They did everything right, but they were sitting on gold. So, President Andrew Jackson signed their death warrant, the Indian Removal Act. At gunpoint, 16,000 Cherokee people were forced from their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They were forced to march over 1,200 miles through a brutal, freezing [music] winter. No shoes, no medicine, minimal food. One out of every four people died on that trail. Elders, infants, mothers buried in unmarked graves along the roadside. It wasn't just a march, it was the Trail of Tears.
