More than the Cherokee Trail of Tears: The Long Removal Era

More than the Cherokee Trail of Tears: The Long Removal Era
Southern Appalachian Studies
More than the Cherokee Trail of Tears: The Long Removal Era
Presented by Julie L. Reed, PhD
February 26, 2018, 7 p.m., Sharon Lawson Room

Julie L. Reed, Associate Professor of history at UTK, will discuss the longer process of Cherokee removal that arguably began before Andrew Jackson was elected President in 1828 and lasted beyond 1840, when the last detachments of Cherokee people arrived in the west.

Reed, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, will consider the decades-long struggle the Cherokee people faced. She will factor in the multiple choices made by elite and everyday Cherokee men and women to confront conditions created by removal and consider how these diverse actions both aided and complicated Cherokee reconciliation in Indian Territory, which today is Oklahoma.
