Also… yikes. The indigenous people were just like "no, no it’s cool, take our land, we’ve been wanting a smaller settlement anyway "
The trail of tears was from Florida to Oklahoma. We “gave” them Oklahoma and it was referred to as indaian territory
Then a few years later we took Oklahoma back from them, lol, and opened up the land runsl. I live in Oklahoma and the trail of tears was drilled into our heads throughout the years in public schools. Are they not teaching it anymore??
Either way we seriously fucked over a bunch of tribes. Seminole, Cherokee etc

They absolutely still teach the Trail of Tears in American schools, I don’t know why everyone still thinks it’s this big coverup.
