BROKEN HEARTS, BODIES & A TRAIL OF TEARS

Posted on September 16, 2024 by atimetoshare.me

Today, September 16th, has been set aside to remember the horror of the demise of a race in America. It has been designated as National Trail of Tears Commemoration Day. I wrote an article about the effects of this horrific event and how an invasion of immigrants led to the crushing of an entire race of Native Americans. It can be found under the title
May 28, 1830, INDIAN REMOVAL ACT SIGNED. It is fitting that every American revisit this time in history. We cannot simply hide these events under a rug and forget about them. What happened on May 28, 1830, was nothing less than a massive takeover of a remaining native tribe. They were relocated from lands that were fertile and flourishing. The twenty-five-day journey would leave many dead on that trail.

We should always learn from our mistakes. History teaches us the ugly side of life and how we can change the way we think in next generations. May God forgive those who set these wheels in motion and give rest to those who suffered through the pain.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    The problem with the Woke history book is that they will teach this to prove the white man is the oppressor and ignore the loving Christians who were among our Founding fathers.

    Kathy, I appreciate this post. Growing up and living many years in Montana offered a personal witness of the goodness found and challenges endured in Native land. May we remember the mistakes that were made, ask forgiveness for these actions, and remember these Native people who seem forgotten in America’s present landscape.
