When looking to see what has happened in the past, we usually find the way it might be written is in a bias. For example, the Trail of Tearswas interpreted by the white Americans as land development, and since the Cherokee were "savage" and "wild" to them, so therefore they had to move them out of their way. The Native Americans were nothing more to them than a pest to deal with. However, according to the Native Americans of the south (The Carolina's, Georgia), the white men were the invaders, the ones who were destroying the earth. When they were removed from their respective homes, they were forced to walk through weather and hills and mountains, when someone would die, they would leave them there, not even a proper burial was given, since the Americans thought of the Cherokee as scum and dirty, and lower than themselves. Whichever way events with extreme hindsight biases are looked at, it is usually blatant acts of racism or hate towards another, and generations after believe the the same thing they were believing when the event happened because of conformity and respecting your elders by believing this is fact, because due to the fact they are older, one assumes they are wiser because they have seen more of life and lived more, not maybe because they have had more schooling, but experienced events that have shaped them to who they are today.
