The Trail of Tears

>> "One item of the endless list of White Man’s Evils is the Trail of Tears. That was when the poor Cherokees were routed off their land suddenly and had to walk to Oklahoma from North Carolina without preparation and died like flies.
I have read the real story a few times and you are welcome to correct
me from Google.
The Cherokees elected a Big Chief to deal with Washington who was a
large slave-holder with an Indian grandmother whose portrait looks as
white as George Washington’s. When the US Government ordered Indians
off their land by a set date, the Big Chief told the Indians he would
take care of it.
When The Day came, the federal troops routed them out and sent them on
their way. The Big Chief, like a modern liberal, yelled and stayed on
his plantation.
As the date approached, a lot of whites saw what was happening and
collected money for the Indians to have transportation and food for
the trip. They gave the money to the lower chiefs and the lower chiefs
stole it.
So the people starved and the chiefs took the money and the white race
got the blame.
Just think of the Indians as third world poor and you will see this
pattern repeated endlessly in this twentieth century. No one caught on
to the REAL example of The Trail of Tears and tens of millions died
because of it."<<
