Answer:
Due to the poor sanitation of the internment camps, deadly diseases such as whooping cough, measles and dysentery spread among the Cherokee. What helped the Cherokee survive on the trail of tears was the hunt for food. If they did not hunt for food, a whole lot more Indians would have died
Step-by-step explanation:
The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears," because of its devastating effects. The migrants faced hunger, disease, and exhaustion on the forced march. Over 4,000 out of 15,000 of the Cherokees died. This picture, The Trail of Tears, was painted by Robert Lindneux in 1942.
