Was the trial of tears necessary to advance civilization as president jackson said, or a cruel injustice to the cherokee

This would depend on your beliefs. Personally, I believe it was a cruel injustice to the Cherokee, and that the Trail of Tears was nowhere near necessary to advance civilization. However, this question is asking for your point of view on the matter. Using the information you have learned, reflect on the event and come to your own conclusion. Hope this helped! ^.^

This question is asking more of an opinion than a fact, but there is more evidence to support that it was a cruel injustice to the Cherokee people. President Jackson violently forced native Americans out of their homes and sent them away, even though the supreme court had previously ruled against him doing this. He disobeyed the Constitution when he chose to set forth in continuing the Trail of Tears and it was very likely he did not feel guilty about doing it either.
