Rise of the Common Man
The Trail of Tears
Te trail of tears is the title we have given the march the Cherokee Indians were forced to make in 1830 due to the Indian removal act, more than 16,000 Indians marched along this oath of which almost 1/4 died. The majority of all music heard on the trail of tears were Cherokee Hymns and Folk songs. These songs were all very traditional and had been passed down from parent to child for many years. There were a few exceptions to the music heard on this trail, for example amazing grace sung in Cherokee was often a common occurrence. For this event I chose the song Amazing Grace sung in Cherokee. Those this song was not originally of Cherokee origin it held substantial meaning to them. Like most other songs sung during this dark time it was a way for them to express their sorrow and pain for their loses.
