Let's Get To The Bottom of That
If you grew up in the United States in the past 50 years, then you know about the Trail of Tears. It’s one of those stories that’s beaten into our collective consciousness starting in grade school. We’re taught in no uncertain terms that Native Americans were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands by the U.S. government between 1830 and 1850, and that thousands of natives died in the process. The government did this so that white men could seize Indian land and the valuable resources that it sat on. In case you missed that lesson in the classroom, you might have caught it in the 2006 documentary narrated by James Earl Jones, or the sprawling national park with signs that note that the Indians did not want to leave, or the endless amount of online propaganda about it. Much of what they’re saying is a myth. As it turns out, none of the Cherokee Indians who traveled the Trail of Tears had ever heard of the Trail of Tears. That’s because from 1830 to 1850, almost no one used the phrase. The term was popularized a full seven decades after the Cherokees moved to Oklahoma, and even then, it wasn’t truly a household name. That didn’t happen until the 1960s, more than a century after it took place.Website - http://www.bottomofthat.com [http://www.bottomofthat.com/] Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bottomofthat [https://www.instagram.com/bottomofthat] Discord - https://discord.gg/9tkRM3frNp [https://discord.gg/9tkRM3frNp] Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/bottomofthat [https://www.facebook.com/bottomofthat] X - https://twitter.com/bottomofthat [https://twitter.com/bottomofthat] YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bottomofthat [https://www.youtube.com/@bottomofthat] Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/c-1875987 [https://rumble.com/c/c-1875987] Email - truth@bottomofthat.com [truth@bottomofthat.com] Send Us a Voice Mail at 913-717-9979
