Greetings

Mrs. Saxe and Ms. Denyer's fourth grade class would like to share with you our thoughts, drawings, maps, and interesting facts from our study of the Trail of Tears.

This was a part of our Westward Expansion unit, and a topic we all have learned so much from. We are proud of our students' hard work and creativity!

We hope you enjoy and learn from these samplings. Feel welcome to comment!

The Way I See It

Say someone came to your house, arrested your Dad, and kicked you out. Wrong huh? That's how the Cherokee felt. The United States of America passed a law called the Indian Removal Act. That law said that they have to move West. The 800 mile trail became known as the Trail of Tears.

Westward Expansion Map



America passed the Indian Removal Act which forced Indians to move further West. Cherokees called this the Trail of Tears because many died on the very long journey. Some of the people have survived in the long journey. Some people just had to go back because of the cold and of the people that have died along the very long journey. ~Caption by Cassandra and map by Eboni
