Song file of the Cherokee version of "Amazing Grace" and "Trail of Tears"
"Cherokee removal, also called the Trail of Tears, refers to the forced relocation between 1836 to 1839
of the Cherokee Nation from their lands in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina to
the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in the Western United States, which resulted in
the deaths of approximately 4,000 Cherokees.
The Cherokee land that was lost proved to be extremely valuable. Upon these lands were
the alignments for the future rights-of-way for rail and road communications between the
eastern Piedmont slopes of the Appalachian Mountains, the Ohio river in Kentucky and
the Tennessee river valley at Chattanooga. This location is still a strategic economic asset
and is the basis for the tremendous success of Atlanta, Georgia, as a regional transportation
and logistics center. Georgia’s appropriation of these lands from the Cherokee kept the
wealth out of the hands of the Cherokee Nation.
President Van Buren assigned General Winfield Scott to head the forcible removal operation.
He arrived at New Echota on May 17, 1838, in command of U.S. Army and state militia
totalling about 7,000 soldiers. They began rounding up Cherokees in Georgia on May 26, 1838;
ten days later, operations began in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama. Men, women, and
children were removed at gunpoint from their homes over three weeks and gathered together in
camps, often with very few of their possessions.
The number of people who died as a result of the Trail of Tears has been variously estimated.
American doctor and missionary Elizur Butler, who made the journey with the Daniel Colston
wagon train, estimated 2,000 deaths in the camps and 2,000 on the trail.
This total of 4,000 deaths remains the most cited figure. A scholarly demographic study in 1973
estimated 2,000 total deaths; another, in 1984, concluded that a total of 6,000 people died.
Since 16,000 Cherokees were enumerated on the 1835 Census, and about 12,000 emigrated
in 1838, ergo 4000 need accounting for. Note that some 1500 Cherokees remained in North
Carolina, so the higher fatality numbers are unlikely. In addition, nearly 400 Creek or Muskogee
Indians who had avoided being removed earlier, fled into the Cherokee Nation and became
part of the latter's Removal."
This book of two volumes was written by Wilson Lumpkin, ex-governor of Georgia who was
appointed by Andrew Jackson to oversee the execute the Treaty of December 1835 with the
Cherokee Indians.  This treaty gave up all the Cherokee land east of the Mississippi in return
for five million dollars to be disbursed on a per capita basis, an additional half-million dollars
for educational funds, title in perpetuity to an amount of land in Indian Territory equal to that
given up, and full compensation for all property left in the East. There was also a clause in the
treaty as signed allowing Cherokee who so desired to remain and become citizens of the states
in which they resided on 160 acres of land, but that was later stricken out by President Jackson.
During the journey, it is said that the people would sing “Amazing Grace”, using its inspiration
to improve morale. The traditional Christian hymn had previously been translated into Cherokee
by the missionary Samuel Worcester with Cherokee assistance. The song has since become a sort
of anthem for the Cherokee people.
