Trails of Tears
"The Trail of Tears" is a term used for removal of Native Americans from their homelands to Indian (and, later, Oklahoma) Territory, but it includes many different physical routes.

Chickasaw
Choctaw
Creek
Seminole So far, Tampa Bay is the only departure point I have found but apparently a number of minor trails led to it. The first leg of the journey was by boat across the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans. Then the journey continued by land along a Military Road that roughly paralleled the Mississippi River.
