Change In Perspective
Not only did the trail of tears effect culture, it also effected the way people think. Shortly after the Trail Of Tears, people started to question authority and how the government could be greedy enough to move a civilized culture, that didn't do anything to us in the first place. With these ideas in mind, United States citizens began to accept cultural differences more and more, diverging from their ancestors who would have never accepted cultural difference. If the trail of tears did not take place, it would have taken significantly longer for United States citizens to realize that not all different cultures are dangerous, and we wouldn't have nearly as much diversity in this country as we do today.
The Trail of Tears helped the United States pave the way to the future, and we are forever in its debt. However, this still does not hide the gruesome truth. United States will forever know the Trail of Tears as one of the many significant events that changed our way of life, and way of thinking forever.
