[PAR] [TLE] Trail of Tears [SEP] The Trail of Tears was a series of forced removals of Native American nations from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to an area west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Indian Territory.  The forced relocations were carried out by various government authorities following the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830.  The relocated people suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route, and more than four thousand died before reaching their various destinations.  The removal included members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations.  The phrase "Trail of Tears" originated from a description of the removal of the Cherokee Nation in 1838. [PAR] [TLE] Thlocklo Tustenuggee [SEP] Thlocklo Tustenuggee (also known as Thlocko, Thlocco, and Tiger Tail) was one of the most prominent Seminole leaders in the Second Seminole War.  He spoke English fluently, and also spoke Muscogee.  Tustenuggee was one of the three leaders of the 300 Seminoles who fought in the battle that became known as the Dade Massacre.  During the war, he and Halleck Tustenuggee, another prominent Seminole leader in the war, met with General Walker Keith Armistead to negotiate, but negotiations broke down and the war resumed.  As the war waned, Armistead used money to bribe several Seminole leaders to surrender, but Tustenuggee refused to be bribed and he continued to lead his band in fighting.  When the war ended, his Seminole band was one of the few that remained in Florida.  In 1843, Tustenuggee and 26 of his followers were forcibly migrated from Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana.  They were transported by the USS "Lawrence" along with 65 other Native Americans and three black slaves.  Tustenuggee then committed suicide by swallowing powdered glass.  His death was reported in newspapers, as were the deaths of other prominent Native American leaders who died in connection with the Trail of Tears.
