The Trial of Tears was a form of an American Genocide. There were people that were targeted. The natives were forced from their land. If they resisted, they would be killed. On the trail they had no resources and were left to die. Thousands of natives died on the trail and were exposed to diseases. -Camy'rah

the trail of tears was a form of american genocide because it was a deliberate plan to kill masses of a particular ethnic group which was a the native at this point. they kicked them out by force and with weapons and leaving them on their own in harsh weather  and conditions which can be compared to other confirmed genocides in history. Kalliyan Winder

The trail of tears was indeed an American Genocide, the Cherokee were never liked by the Americans, because they were seen as savages and thought they took up too much space.  They forced them out of their homes and killed those that refused. They didn't even let them have a chance.  This was unfair to them because that land was theirs for years, but now they are being forced out just because they are different.

# data[].attributes.body
The trail of tears was a form of American Genocide because they killed thousands of people and the president didn't do anything about it and they were forced out of their homes and were killed if they resisted. As they were being forced out of homes, they couldn't even gather their resources and Americans had the intention to give them the worst life possible. People died of cold, disease, and hunger during the trail of tears. Definitely Genocide. -Margo Akinina

Yes it was a genocide because they forced the natives out of their home by using force and the Americans mentally and physically attacked the natives. They also forcibly transferred  them to the trail of tears so they could take the natives land. Everything the us did to the natives are elements of genocide which therefore makes it and american genocide. Joseph H

The Trail of Tears was a form of American Genocide because they killed a large and specific group of people. They mistreated and put thousands of people in Native American in bondage and Andrew Jackson, the perpetrator, intended to destroy and force them out of their homes and they died while they were on the Trail of Tears. - Keturah O.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes the trail of tears was american genocide. The natives were forced out of their land with little food and medicine and were forced to walk the trail of tears. The government targeted the natives and killed thousands of them. -Justin P.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the Trail of Tears was a form of American genocide. A few elements of genocide were some person or persons belonged to a particular national, ethnical, racial or religious group, the perpetrator intended to destroy, in whole or in part, that national, ethnical, racial or religious group, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, and the perpetrator forcibly transferred one or more persons. The Cherokee and many other tribes were being targeted. The government wanted to dispose of the Native Americans because they wanted the tribes to abide by their rules and their ways of life. There was also starvation, disease, and possibly depression because the tribes did not have time to prepare for the journey. The trail of tears would be an example of being forcibly transferred. They used the Georgia militia to force the tribes out of their homes. -Megan

# data[].attributes.body
yes, the trail of tears was a form of american genocide because when the Cherokees were forced out of the U.S many died if they refused and many died while they were on the trail of tears. forcing the Cherokees out was a decision that was made by the U.S, it was not a choice by the Cherokees themselves. the Cherokees died because of the U.S and a large amount of the Cherokees died because of this act. - Ritu G.

# data[].attributes.body
The Trail of Tears was genocide because thousands of Native Americans were forced out of their homes and into harsh weather, without supplies such as food and blankets. Disease and starvation spread and many Natives died. It doesn't matter that they didn't die with a gun pointed at their head; the government knew they wouldn't survive but pushed them out anyways. -Christina G.

# data[].attributes.body
The Trail of Tears was a form of American Genocide because this journey resulted in the death of thousands of Native Americans, which is genocide in itself, and also, the people who killed them originally were trying to kill them, which means they have intent, which is why this is genocide. Max Woods

# data[].attributes.body
mani- yes it was because the Americans wanted this race gone they weren't just moving everyone out they moved all the native Americans out in that area. the U.S forced out the natives from their homes with guns. The trail of tears was brutal, and 4,000 natives died on their way to the western lands. They were not allowed time to gather their belongings, and as they left, whites looted their homes. people died of cold, hunger, and disease on their way. They killed people who resisted. some natives were forced into slavery and prison camps

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the trail of tears was a form of American Genocide because it included each element of genocide. Many Native tribes were forced to move and they were held at gunpoint or even killed if they didn't comply. Natives were specifically targeted and suffered from starvation and disease due to the Trail of Tears. Some natives were sent to prison camps and they were harassed. -Ashley J.

The Trail of Tears would indeed be a form of American genocide. First, we look at the current Syrian genocide for reference. The innocent children and adults were taken from the streets due to them belonging to a specific group (specifically those thought to have been suspected to be against the government of Syria) and abused and killed many of them. In consequence, millions had to leave their homes. During the Trail of Tears, many Natives were killed during the journey from fatigue, hunger, thirst, and disease. Furthermore, primarily Native Americans were attacked for land, while no one else was.

the trial of trails was a form of genocide because caused a lot of Natives to die, it burned down multiple villages, and lastly they were targeted by the American. It forcefully removed the Natives from their homes. It put them in a terrible place, physically and emotionally. They had a disease to spread and they could not help it. They moved and forced them to walk. So yeah it was genocide--Emily U.

The trail of tears was a form of American genocide because this caused bodily harm to the Natives by forcing them to move out of their native land and placed them in camps that caused a portion of the population to die. They were forced out of their homes with nothing, such as things like their belongings and during the journey, many of the people that survived the harmful conditions of the camps were dying left and right because of the cold, bitter conditions of the weather. They had no shoes, and proper clothing to survive these harmful conditions. Also, the villages of the natives were burned down by multiple people- jayla parrott

# data[].attributes.body
The trail of tears was a genocide because they caused body harm to many of the natives and they also burned out the villages. The Americans forced them to convert to Christianity and the american life. Those who didn't leave their villages died.  The Americans made it very impossible for the natives to survive along the Trail. The Americans made them leave behind all of their belongings and many died at each stop along the way. They were mistreated and removed from their homes. This was a genocide. -Lilyian Hafner

# data[].attributes.body
Yes the trail of tears was a form of genocide because the homes of the people were taken and they were held at gunpoint. Also, they burned down villages and sent them out with no resources so they wouldnt be able to survive. They were in bad conditions and they were going to be put to death. They were taking all of the Cherokees resources and land and left them without anything.

# data[].attributes.body

yes, the trial of tears was genocide because they forcibly removed the Cherokee from there homes and if they didn't the homes were burned down. the conditions in the camp where they stayed was inhumane and morally wrong. they had no food and this was during the disease season so many of them died. when they started on the trial it was the coldest winter and many froze/starved to death. they were all apart of the same group of people making these actions genocide. (Reese Meyers)

The Trail f Tears is genocide. The actions taken against the Natives were genocide. They kicked the out of their home. They converted them. The killed them because of their background, skin color and race. These are all examples of genocide. And they all happened to the Natives. -Chidera

# data[].attributes.body
it was genocide because if the Natives didn't leave on the passage they would be killed by the Americans and they got their Cherokees' burnt down and people burnt alive. They were put in camps as they were maltreated and they were being transferred into European lifestyles. They were also threatened by the Americans on leaving their land to move out. Americans came into homes and forced Natives outside of their homes and they signed an agreement on giving away their land without Natives' permission. -D.C

# data[].attributes.body
It is  American Genocide because the Americans made them go without their belongings and they knew the Cherokee were going to die. The Americans gave the Cherokees time to gather their things and leave peacefully but they didn't have to make them leave without their belongings just because they didn't leave when they told them too knowing they would die a painful death in mass numbers.

The trail of tears was a form of American genocide. The governments hostility was fully on the Cheroke. The American government forcefully removed the Cheroke from there territory with no resources to move to "their new land" and many died on the journey. If the Cheroke refused to move then they were killed and many were, which is killing or causing serious mental or bodily harm. The Americans also burned down 50 Cheroke villages which is inflicting harm on there way of life. - Jane

The trail of tears was a form of american genocide because the U.S government intended to destroy the native group by burning out 50 cherokee villages, they gave georgia permission on to cherokee land without cherokee permission. They tranferred indians into camps and made them travel in bad conditions to the west. They were maltreated and evicted. This was a form of genocide. - Dorian A Mitchell

# data[].attributes.body
The trail of tears was a form of American genocide because many Cherokees were killed when their villages were burned intentionally. These conditions of the stockades killed off many young people before they even went on the trail, the whites didn’t care about their conditions, when food was offered, it was charged at a wildly high price, and thousands have died because of the lack of help from Americans and large amounts of death. Also, Georgia threatened the Cherokees with annihilation, and took land from the Cherokees illegally, which was another form of genocide because they caused the Cherokees to move without warning and die without proper care and resources, they also died because of the conditions they were met with because of the insensitive Americans and lack of warmth that they had to face, which was caused by the Americans not preparing them and kicking them out of their land, and charging a high price just for food which caused the high amounts of death on the trail, which is genocide. -Yacqub Mohamed

# data[].attributes.body
The Trail of Tears was a form of American Genocide. It applied to every one of the elements of genocide. The Americans forced the Cherokees out of their homes and made them walk the trail without any supplies. This caused many of the Natives to die while walking the trail. This was an inhumane act because if the Americans gave them more time to prepare themselves for the trail, then more natives could've survived the trail. The Natives had to struggle in the winter without supplies. They killed and harmed many Natives by burning 50 Cherokee villages. This was intended because Andrew Jackson even said, " If you burn them out, they will go." Alabama threatened the Cherokees by saying that they would annihilate them if they wouldn’t relocate to the west. This is why the Trail of Tears was a form of American Genocide. (By Cindy L.)

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Yes the trail of tears was a form of American Genocide because the people were evicted at gunpoint out of their homes with nothing, setting them up for death, and if they didnt leave they were killed, they knew without resources they couldnt survive in the weather. As Well that 50 villages were burned. -gabby

# data[].attributes.body
It is not a form a Genocide. The reason for this is that Genocide requires multiple catagories to be met and a lot of actions to be taken, the Cherokees' had the ability to leave plus they also if they just agreed the U.S.'s negotiatons they could have even stayed on their land. This is why the Trail Of Tears is not a form of American Genocide                           By: Eli Copenhaver

The trail of tears was a form of genocide because 50 Cherokee villages were burned down, causing harm to the Cherokee.
