Describe the indian removal from north georgia. Was the evacuation carried out according to plan? Explain. What were the holding camps like? Why did many indians choose to walk rather than ride the boats the government provided for their removal

The removal of the Cherokees in 1838 from Georgia was known as the trail of tears. This tribe was the last to stand before the US military. There was little restistance by the Cherokees. The evacuation did not go according to the plan because many Indians escaped to the mountains. Businessman who were supposed to look after the Indians in the camps and at the trail failed to provide them with fresh food and water witch resulted in many Indian deaths. The boats were not operating well and a lot of them sinked, so they were called 'death ships' by the Indians who decided to walk instead. Due to drought, many Indians were forced to stay in the camps where famine and sicknesses like cholera took many of their lives.
