Question

select the correct answer.

in which time period did the trail of tears occur?

a. 1880–1900

b. 1830–1850

c. 1790–1810

d. 1800–1820

Explanation:

The Trail of Tears, the forced relocation of Native American nations, occurred primarily in the 1830s - 1850s. The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830, and the major relocations (like that of the Cherokee) happened around this time period. Option A is too late, C and D are too early. So the correct time period is 1830–1850.

Answer:

B. 1830–1850
