[edit] Trail of Tears

...the forced 1838 Indian removal to what is now Oklahoma. The event, in which the Five Civilized Tribes were forced on foot, in winter, with few provisions, to migrate with great suffering has come to be known as the Trail of Tears.

Not to suggest the other removals were not tearful, but the term "Trail of Tears" refers only to the Cherokee removal. Also, the Chickasaw removal did not take place at the same time (winter, 1838, on foot, etc) as the Cherokee removal. It would be useful to have more info here on the Chickasaw removal and how some managed to evade it, and how they ended up in South Carolina of all places. Thanks. Pfly 04:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
