Acclaimed historians Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green explore the tragic narrative of the Trail of Tears, where a controversial 1838 treaty forced 17,000 mostly Christian Cherokee from their fertile Appalachian homeland to desolate plains beyond the Mississippi. Despite opposition from notable figures such as Davy Crockett, Daniel Webster, and Henry Clay, this harrowing journey resulted in the deaths of 4,000 individuals.
