Question

What imagery does Burnett use to describe his fellow soldiers’ treatment of the Cherokee?

Answer 1

This is my birthday, December 11, 1890. I am eighty years old today. I was born at Kings Iron Works in Sullivan County, Tennessee,

December the 11, 1810. I grew into manhood fishing in Beaver Creek and roaming through the forest hunting the deer and the wild

boar and the timber wolf. Often spending weeks at a time in the solitary wilderness with no companions but my rifle, hunting knife,

and a small hatchet that I carried in my belt in all of my wilderness wanderings. On these long hunting trips I met and became

acquainted with many of the Cherokee Indians,…

The removal of Cherokee Indians from their life long homes in the year of 1838 found me a young man in the prime of life and a

Private soldier in the American Army. Being acquainted with many of the Indians and able to fluently speak their language, I was sent

as interpreter into the Smoky Mountain Country in May, 1838, and witnessed the execution of the most brutal order in the History of

American Warfare. I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the

stockades. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-

five wagons and started toward the west.

Explanation:

Step 1: About 17,000 Cherokee are forcefully removed to Indian Territory by the American Department of War (which is now known as Oklahoma). The 1,200-mile "Trail of Tears" march is said to have claimed the lives of 6,000 men, women, and children, according to Cherokee officials. An estimated 4,000 Cherokees who were forced to travel on the Trail of Tears, also known as the Trail of Death, perished from exposure, malnutrition, and illness.

Step 2: The Indians were then marched over 1,200 miles to Indian Territory. Along the route, typhus, dysentery, cholera, a hunger pandemic, and whooping cough were all widespread. According to historians, the trek claimed the lives of about 5,000 Cherokee.

Step 3: Due to its tragic results, the Cherokee people gave this trek the nickname "Trail of Tears." On the forced march, the migrants had to contend with starvation, illness, and tiredness. Out of the 15,000 Cherokees, at over 4,000 perished.
