The Trail of Tears - Task 2.

The part which made the strongest impression on me was "The Trail of Tears".
The US Goverment's forced the Indians to remove from their places just because the white people needed it. All the Indians moved whether they agreed to move or not. They had to walk all the way from Georgia to a reservation in Oklahoma. They started to move during the hottest part of year, and many Indians died because the had to drink contaminated water and eat inadeguate food.
When the winter came they were exhausted, and since they didn't have warm clothes many indians died. They just had the blanket the goverment had given them for protection, and som did not have shoes at all! During this long journey almost 4,000 Indians died!
The Indians lost their sacred places, and an important part of their identity was taken from them.

I think this is terrible! I don't understand how the goverment could let children and women walk all the way from Georgia to Oklahoma. They had almost not clothes, no clean food or water, and their lost their culture, places and their culture started disintegrating.
