Trail of Tears Webquest
The Trail of Tears resulted from the forced removal of thousands of Native Americans from their homes in the Southeastern United States.
Imagine one day you wake up and are told you have four hours to gather everything you can and leave your home. You don't know where you are going or how long it will take you. You only know that you have to leave the only home you've ever known and can only take what you can carry.

Find the Information here about the two routes:
The Water Route
From the port on the Tennessee River (currently a city park near the Tennessee Aquarium), groups of Cherokee would leave by steamship to the Mississippi River (via a short journey on the Ohio River), then south on the Mississippi to the Arkansas River. They followed this river to Fort Smith, on the border between Arkansas and Indian Territory. From here they headed northwest to the area reserved for the Cherokee. This was the route which John Ross's wife died.
The Land Routes
There were roughly ten individual routes, with some overlapping between each of them. The route that is technically called the "Trail of Tears" began at the Cherokee Agency near Rattlesnake Springs and headed northwest to the vicinity of Nashville, Tennessee, then to Hopkinsville, Kentucky. From here the Cherokee headed to a crossing of the Ohio just northwest of the confluence of the Tennessee River. From here the Cherokee moved southwest, crossing the Mississippi near Cape Girardeau. From here the route headed south-southwest across the Ozark plateau to the Oklahoma Territory.
