The Trail of Tearsmedia type="custom" key="3594618"

My family. My animals. Everything I've ever worked for is gone by the hands of the white man. My people have been severely mistreated, and me and my people have been stripped of our rights and our lives. I have no home to go back to, no shelter. My entire life has been destroyed by the intruders. Nothing will ever make up for the things I have lost. My family can't even go to court for an appeal. It just isn't fair. Mr. Andrew Jackson is the one who is at fault for this travesty. What have we ever done to him, and his government? I now have to make a whole new home, get new animals, and regain everything I've spent my entire life on. Many of my people died to help "improve" this country. By the time most of us reached Oklahoma, more than a quarter of us had been wiped out. Almost all of us had to mach to Oklahoma on foot, which had been made more torterous by the fact that we had a very limited amount of wagons, blankets, horses, and food. We may be on our own land just for us, but nothing will ever make up for what was done to us. We may own this land, but it was forced upon us. I only want one question answered-why were we removed from our land?
