Hi,

The Trail of Tears was a order by the US government between 1830-1850 to displace approximately 60,000 American Indians.

Answer:

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.
