00:00Do you call coercion and threats by a nation with a far more powerful army fair and square?
00:05Hey, hola y bienvenidos a WatchMojo Español.
00:08Yo soy G.
00:09Hoy hablaremos de personas destacadas por sus contribuciones a la historia
00:13que tambien adoptaron creencias horribles o cometieron acciones tachables.
00:17You don't know, you don't want to.
00:20No, of course I want to.
00:22Abandonar a su hija, Steve Jobs.
00:24Es innegable el impacto que Steve Jobs ha tenido a la industria de la tecnología.
00:29Sin embargo, su vida personal fue un asunto totalmente distinto.
00:32I'm just thinking of a couple of things where your mom was on the phone.
00:35You were just a little girl and she was begging your dad for money.
00:38Like, sobbing and begging.
00:41And you, as a little girl, walk up and take the phone from her
00:44and said, just give her some money, okay?
00:46And like, hang up the phone.
00:47Jobs mantuvo una relación intermitente con una mujer llamada Kristen Brannon.
00:52Este romance terminó en una polémica batalla por el embarazo y la paternidad
00:56que Jobs libró durante años contra su expareja.
00:59You knew going into this, the paternity test could prove that you were the father.
01:04There are 24 million people in California that test as a 5% margin of error.
01:08That's 1.2 million people that could be the father of that child.
01:11And it's not me.
01:13Jobs difamó la integridad de Brannon en relación con la paternidad de la niña
01:17y se negó a apoyarlas,
01:19incluso cuando se reveló que esta recibía asistencia social.
01:23El cofundador de Apple acabó ofreciéndole ayuda económica a su hija Lisa,
01:27pero no percibió una cantidad significativa hasta después de una entrevista en 1982
01:32de la revista Time con Brannon,
01:34en la que se revelaban los detalles de su situación.
01:37As reported by Time Magazine, I've slept with 28% of the men in America.
01:41No.
01:42All of them, exactly nine months before Lisa was born.
01:45Acusaciones de abuso.
01:46Alfred Hitchcock.
01:47When you have an obsession over someone,
01:51it is a terrible thing to be the object of that obsession.
01:56A menudo el sueño de los actores de la vieja escuela de Hollywood
01:59era trabajar con Alfred Hitchcock,
02:00a pesar de que el director tenía ideas muy concretas sobre lo que quería en la pantalla
02:04y que llegaba muy lejos para conseguir lo que quería.
02:07Walt Disney had the right idea.
02:11If he didn't like the actors, he tore them up.
02:13Tippi Hedren fue una de las prototípicas rubias de Hitchcock,
02:16gélidas y distantes,
02:18que con frecuencia se veían como marca de las películas del director.
02:22Sin embargo, Hedren también afirmó que Hitchcock saboteó deliberadamente su carrera
02:26después de que rechazara sus insinuaciones sexuales.
02:29He said, I'll ruin your career.
02:32Wow.
02:33I said, do what you have to do, and out the door I went.
02:36And did he ruin your career?
02:37Yes, he did.
02:38Hedren también afirmó que Hitchcock utilizó pájaros reales
02:41durante una secuencia de ataque en Los Pájaros de 1963,
02:45en lugar de sustitutos mecánicos,
02:47a pesar de que sabía perfectamente el miedo que la actriz les tenía en la vida real.
02:52Adulterio y maltrato.
02:54Martin Luther King Jr.
02:55Among the claims detailed, Martin Luther King Jr.
02:58was involved in extramarital affairs and other sexual activities
03:02that if true and real publicly,
03:04would have been devastating to Dr. King and his movement.
03:07La labor en pro de los derechos civiles de Martin Luther King Jr.
03:10es alabada hoy por sus ideales utópicos relativos a la coexistencia racial.
03:15Dicho esto, sus fracasos como esposo salieron a la luz
03:18gracias a los esfuerzos de vigilancia encubierta del gobierno,
03:22tanto por parte del FBI como de la CIA.
03:25The COINTELPRO bugged Martin Luther King Jr.
03:27They bugged his house, they bugged his hotel rooms,
03:29they bugged his office,
03:30they had people working in the SCLC who were working for the FBI.
03:34So they were on Martin Luther King hard.
03:38Las grabaciones telefónicas federales revelaron que King
03:41mantuvo varias relaciones extramatrimoniales
03:44durante su matrimonio con Coretta Scott King,
03:47a pesar de que el propio líder esperaba que ella abandonara
03:50su activismo para centrarse en la maternidad.
03:52Otras acusaciones afirman que supuestamente presenció
03:56una agresión sexual por parte de un conocido,
03:58el pastor Logan Kears,
04:00y en lugar de intervenir para impedirlo,
04:02miró, se rió y ofreció consejos.
04:05Many of the source documents will not be available
04:08until the year 2027 based on a judge's order.
04:12When 2027 comes around, a lot of people will be interested
04:16in listening to those tapes and reading those transcripts.
04:19Espionaje y tráfico sexual.
04:22Chuck Berry.
04:23There was a lot of backdoor slimy stuff going on.
04:29Los libros de historia siempre reconocerán a Chuck Berry
04:32como uno de los padres del rock and roll.
04:34Berry fue condenado en 1962 por violar la layman,
04:38una ley federal cuya finalidad es perseguir
04:41a quienes transportan a personas a través de las fronteras estatales
04:44con intención de sexo o prostitución.
04:47They had met, I think, in Arizona or New Mexico.
04:50He brought her back to work in his club.
04:53He had taken an underage girl across a state line.
04:58El guitarrista también fue detenido por agredir a una mujer en 1987
05:02mientras se alojaba en el Hotel Gramercy Park de Nueva York.
05:05Además, se encontraron cámaras ocultas en el baño de mujeres
05:09de un restaurante propiedad de Berry,
05:11un caso que se resolvió extrajudicialmente.
05:14I stay fine, fine, I stay fine, fine.
05:21Sentimiento antijaponés.
05:23Theodore Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss.
05:26La guerra puede librarse desde muchos frentes
05:28y un arma especialmente importante es la propaganda.
05:31Theodore Seuss Geisel, también conocido como el autor infantil Dr. Seuss,
05:36sirvió en el Departamento de Animación del Ejército de los Estados Unidos en 1943.
05:41Sounds harmless enough, innocent stuff.
05:46But let's take a look in and find out what's cooking.
05:49Durante ese tiempo escribió películas propagandísticas
05:52y de entretenimiento para el ejército
05:54mientras seguía dibujando caricaturas y carteles políticos.
05:57Gran parte de la animación de Seuss durante esta época
06:00criticaba a los japoneses y a menudo los describía despectivamente.
06:05We were allowed to use certain words that we couldn't use on the screen then
06:08and maybe not even now.
06:10El querido autor fue solo uno de los muchos estadounidenses
06:13que se vieron arrastrados por una ola de sentimiento antijaponés
06:17durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
06:19Esto no excusa sus acciones, ni el contenido de sus primeros libros,
06:23pero sí habla de un sentimiento cultural general de la época.
06:27He wonders who in heaven was that shed his tincture down.
06:33Abuso y Abandono, John Lennon.
06:36Imagine there's no heaven
06:42It's easy if you try
06:45La música es algo muy poderoso
06:48y nosotros como fans a menudo tendemos a martirizar a nuestros artistas favoritos.
06:52Sin embargo, quizá no deberíamos
06:55porque detrás de cada uno hay un ser humano con fallas y defectos.
06:59John Lennon, según todos los indicios,
07:01fracasó como padre y esposo.
07:03Al menos en lo que respecta a su primera esposa,
07:06Cynthia Powell, y a su hijo Julian.
07:08To a degree I was abandoned as a kid,
07:10you know, twice,
07:12if not three times in many respects.
07:15La contradictoria vida de Lennon
07:17incluyó violencia física contra Powell
07:19en una época en que gran parte de la música de los Beatles
07:22promulgaba paz y amor.
07:24La ruptura también fue violenta
07:26y estuvieron en pleitos por la infidelidad de él con Yoko Ono,
07:30así como el abandono emocional de su hijo.
07:32There was a great deal of anger there,
07:34but there's also, you know, I've grown up a lot
07:36and there's been forgiveness since then.
07:39But it was tough, yeah.
07:41It was very tough growing up, that's for sure.
07:43Defender la eutanasia y la eugenicia, Helen Keller.
07:47Every day she slips further away.
07:54I don't know how to call it back.
07:55La activista sordociega Helen Keller
07:58no fue la única persona con mentalidad política de su época
08:01que abogó por la eutanasia y la eugenicia.
08:03Simplemente sorprendió a muchos que una persona
08:06que superó tantos retos físicos en su propia vida
08:09promoviera la destrucción de otra,
08:10sin darle una oportunidad similar de luchar.
08:13She did write about eugenics
08:15and she was concerned that children with disabilities,
08:18who have severe disabilities,
08:20would not be able to function in society.
08:22I think it was part of that zeitgeist at the time.
08:25Las opiniones de Keller reflejaban específicamente
08:27un caso de 1915
08:29en el que dejaron morir a un bebé
08:31después de que un médico se negara a operarlo.
08:33Keller acusó de sentimentalismo cobarde
08:36a quienes defendían la vida del niño
08:38y se distanció activamente de la comunidad de discapacitados
08:41durante toda su vida adulta.
08:43It is not blindness or deafness
08:47that brings me my darkest hours.
08:52It is not blindness or deafness
08:54that bring me my darkest hours.
08:57Vigilancia de COINTELPRO
08:59J. Edgar Hoover
09:00Remember always
09:02that the spy and the saboteur
09:05or the destroyer carries no badge.
09:07He hides behind a hundred fronts.
09:10He pretends innocence.
09:12He likes to rub elbows with patriotic men.
09:16La figura del antiguo director del FBI,
09:18J. Edgar Hoover,
09:19se cierne sobre el poder y la influencia de la agencia.
09:22Un aspecto de su controversial legado
09:24incluye las operaciones que se llevaron a cabo
09:27bajo el paraguas de COINTELPRO.
09:29No eran meras campañas de difamación,
09:31sino ataques implacables coordinados
09:34contra grupos que el FBI consideraba indeseables.
09:38We knew the FBI was systematically
09:40trying to squash dissent,
09:42and dissent is the lifeblood of democracy.
09:44Las actividades y las vidas de los Panteras Negras,
09:47los activistas contra Vietnam,
09:49e incluso estrellas de cine como Gene Seberg,
09:52fueron vigiladas por agentes del FBI.
09:54Intervinieron teléfonos,
09:56grabaron conversaciones
09:58y aprobaron asesinatos en el marco de COINTELPRO,
10:01mientras el FBI manipulaba los medios de comunicación
10:04y cometía una guerra psicológica
10:06contra los ciudadanos estadounidenses.
10:09The surveillance was so enormous
10:12that it led various people,
10:14rather sedate people in editorial offices
10:17and Congress to compare it to the Stasi,
10:20the dreaded secret police of East Germany.
10:23Acusaciones de antisemitismo.
10:25Roald Dahl, a menudo es el consumidor
10:28quien decide si es capaz o no
10:29de separar el arte del artista.
10:31And I agree with you, it is difficult.
10:33Very, very difficult.
10:35Roald Dahl es responsable
10:37de una veintena de clásicos infantiles populares,
10:40como Charlie y la fábrica de chocolate y Matilda.
10:43Sin embargo, este veterano inglés
10:44de la Segunda Guerra Mundial
10:46también ha sido acusado de albergar sentimientos
10:48que podrían percibirse como antisemitas.
10:51I thought he was great at first,
10:53but then he didn't turn out so nice.
10:55Dahl en su defensa dijo,
10:56No soy antisemita, soy anti-israeli.
10:59Los amigos del autor lo tachaban
11:01a menudo de ser provocador
11:02y estar sujeto a decir cosas por capricho.
11:05Sin embargo, esto no oculta el hecho
11:07de que algunas de las primeras obras
11:09como Sometime Never y Madame Rosette
11:11contienen lenguaje difamatorio
11:13sobre el pueblo judío.
11:15One of those kind of horror stories
11:16which you have specialized in.
11:18Tikla, yeah.
11:19Agresión, Roman Polanski.
11:21Here you come to a concrete case
11:26for which I have been behind the bars
11:29and that's what you want to talk about.
11:31Algunos prefieren ignorar las acusaciones
11:33contra el cineasta Roman Polanski,
11:35debido sobre todo a su trabajo
11:36con El Bebé de Rosemary y Chinatown.
11:39El guionista y director incluso recibió
11:41el premio de la Academia Mejor Director
11:43por El Pianista en el 2002,
11:45que se estrenó décadas después
11:46de sus infames encuentros con la justicia.
11:49He was very powerful, very well known.
11:52I think when you're wealthy or powerful
11:54or well known, people don't say no to you
11:57and you have like this different view of life
11:59where you're accustomed to getting what you want
12:02because you get what you want.
12:03La historia de los presuntos delitos sexuales
12:05de Polanski se remonta a 1977,
12:09cuando fue detenido por drogar y agredir
12:11a un adolescente en su Francia natal.
12:13Increíblemente volvió a ser detenido
12:15por este delito ese mismo año,
12:18esta vez con una modelo menor de edad
12:20llamada Samantha Gailey.
12:21El director fue informado de las consecuencias
12:24de sus actos y decidió escapar de Estados Unidos
12:27antes de que se dictara su sentencia.
12:29Authorities here in Los Angeles
12:31have been unable to arrest Polanski before now.
12:33They say they've tried six times over the years,
12:36yet when they learned he was gonna be in Zurich
12:37this past weekend, they asked the Swiss to help catch him.
12:40Defender el colonialismo, Rudyard Kipling.
12:43My dear boy, I'm a British officer.
12:46My job is to keep the law.
12:48You keep not the jungle law.
12:50Look here.
12:53I don't know about any jungle law,
12:56but I do keep man's law.
12:57No parece injusto decir que muchos espectadores
13:00de cierta edad conocieron la obra literaria
13:02del autor inglés Rudyard Kipling
13:04con la adaptación animada de Disney
13:06de El Libro de la Selva.
13:08Kipling nació en la India Británica
13:10y fue el hecho de vivir en estas circunstancias
13:13lo que ejerció una enorme influencia en su arte,
13:15incluida su duología, El Libro de la Selva,
13:18así como un poema titulado The White Man's Burden.
13:21Boy, now look at that.
13:23The color and majesty of India,
13:26the exquisite manners and food of England,
13:29all the bare necessities of life.
13:32La narrativa de este poema ofrece una defensa cauta
13:34pero alentadora de los esfuerzos colonialistas estadounidenses
13:38en las islas Filipinas,
13:39mientras que El Libro de la Selva,
13:41sí, incluso la versión de Disney,
13:43presenta imágenes que reflejaban
13:44el enfoque colonialista británico del dominio indio.
13:48Espinagor!
13:50That's the way I earned my commission
13:51in the Maharaja's Fifth Pachyderm Brigade?
13:55Back in 88 it was, or was it?
13:58Here it comes, the Victoria Cross bit again.
14:02Conversiones forzadas y malversación de fondos.
14:04Madre Teresa.
14:06She probably make good work for church
14:10but actually the care and the way she treated the sick people
14:17seems not to be what the media told.
14:19La carrera y vida de Mary Teresa Boyashiu,
14:22mejor conocida como la Madre Teresa,
14:24sí contribuyeron a proporcionarles asistencia
14:27a los pobres, necesitados y enfermos,
14:29personas que no tenían a quién recurrir.
14:32Sin embargo, también se ha dicho
14:34que la calidad de esta atención variaba
14:36y a menudo venía bajo la condición
14:38de una conversión forzosa al catolicismo.
14:41Podían ser bautizados de niños en contra de los deseos de sus padres
14:44o conversiones en el hecho de muerte.
14:46I have videos of a telling congregation in Scripps Clinic in 1992
14:53that she was surreptitiously converting more and more people
14:56who were not able to give consent.
14:58La Madre Teresa también contribuyó a ocultar las acciones de sacerdotes
15:02que fueron acusados de comportarse de forma inapropiada con niños
15:06y fue objeto de críticas por malversar fondos
15:08para su propia atención médica,
15:10afectando a aquellos que estaban destinados a su misión.
15:14India's Home Ministry refused to renew
15:16the Missionaries of Charity's license
15:18to receive funds from abroad,
15:20citing what it called adverse inputs,
15:23without giving more detail.
15:24Casarse con menores.
15:26Charlie Chaplin.
15:27He was very taken with me.
15:28He had his cameraman photograph me
15:32in the position of the famous painting,
15:34The Age of Innocence.
15:36He thought that I resembled that little girl in the oil painting.
15:40El mundo del viejo Hollywood está lleno de sombras oscuras
15:43que contrastan con las luces brillantes y las estrellas deslumbrantes.
15:46La obra de Charlie Chaplin durante la época del cine mudo
15:50fue enorme e influyó en innumerables artistas,
15:53pero su vida personal fue tumultuosa,
15:56desde sus simpatías políticas de izquierda
15:58hasta supuestas relaciones sexuales con menores.
16:01Charlie's assistant said to Charlie,
16:04This is the little girl I've been telling you about,
16:06and I went running over to meet them.
16:08And Charlie looked at me and he said,
16:10Oh, yes, and she's very pretty.
16:12Now, would you like to be in a movie?
16:13It must be said that the legal ages of consent
16:16have differed historically,
16:18from one state to another,
16:19and from one year to another.
16:21But Chaplin's first two wives were under 18.
16:25His second wife, Leta Gray,
16:27was supposedly a teenager at the time of her adventure,
16:30during which she became pregnant.
16:32Gray also alleged that Chaplin pressured her to abort,
16:36in order to avoid the scandal
16:37of her secret marriage in Sonora, Mexico.
16:40I couldn't quite figure out how this was the same man
16:43seated at this table as the man I saw on the screen.
16:47It kind of scared me.
16:48Animal abuse accusations.
16:50P.T. Burnham.
16:51Figured you'd end up here feeling sorry for yourself.
16:54Fair attractions, carnivals, and today's circuses
16:59have a debt to P.T. Burnham.
17:01However, the style of this man within the circus business
17:05has been subject to great scrutiny for years,
17:08especially following the 2017 film
17:11The Greatest Showman.
17:12I never liked your show.
17:15But I always thought the people did.
17:18They did, they do.
17:19In particular, Burnham often exploited the physical conditions
17:23of those who appeared in his various shows,
17:25while in other exhibitions
17:27they strongly leaned towards racist and culturally insensitive stereotypes.
17:33Animals under his surveillance were not much better,
17:36since many of the tools used to make them act in his shows
17:41also served as torture instruments.
17:51The Kennedy Lobotomy.
17:53Joe Kennedy, father.
17:54Historically, people went to many different places
17:57when it came to looking for answers to mental illnesses.
18:01The surgical process known as lobotomy was an option,
18:05and not only the poor used it.
18:07By the end of the procedure, she's basically lost the ability to talk,
18:11and it's clear that this has gone terribly wrong.
18:14The patriarch of the Kennedy family, Joe Kennedy, father,
18:17subjected his daughter, Rosemary, to a lobotomy
18:20when she was just over 20 years old.
18:22This, after complications during childbirth and birth
18:26caused her to develop some kind of intellectual or learning disability.
18:31From a young age, Rosemary, the eldest Kennedy daughter,
18:35was a bit slow.
18:37She was diagnosed with learning disability at the age of about six or seven.
18:42The public perception of Joe's feelings and the Kennedy family's for Rosemary
18:46goes from ignorance to shame.
18:48It's also believed that the lobotomy was done
18:51both to neutralize her mood swings
18:54and to ensure that Joe's children's political careers
18:57were better off.
18:58Joe was convinced Rosemary's lobotomy would somehow fix things,
19:03and that miraculously she would become a perfect Kennedy
19:07like all the other Kennedys.
19:09The Bengal famine.
19:10Winston Churchill.
19:12It's not a matter upon which I'm able to shed
19:15any clear ray of light at the present time.
19:19And if I were, I should certainly not shed it.
19:22The legacy of the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill,
19:26was still being forged when this humanitarian catastrophe
19:29devastated India in 1943.
19:32The Second World War wreaked havoc all over the planet.
19:36But it was also the time of British colonialism in India.
19:40The war, specifically the occupation of Burma by Japan,
19:43was devastating for the economy of India during this time,
19:47as food was preferred, and strategically,
19:51to the military personnel instead of the natives.
19:54There were a few British soldiers, all British soldiers,
19:58because they ate good food.
20:01But these poor people.
20:05Churchill's level of guilt over the Bengal famine
20:08fluctuates according to who you ask.
20:11Some quote the comments of the Prime Minister
20:14towards the Indian people,
20:15while others claim that he had his hands tied
20:19and that he did what he could, once he knew about the crisis.
20:23Contemporary non-official observers reported from the start
20:26that this was a man-made famine.
20:28Calcutta newspaper, The Statesman, wrote,
20:30the sickening catastrophe is man-made.
20:33The famine constitutes the worst
20:35and most reprehensible administrative breakdown in India.
20:38Nazi sympathy.
20:40Coco Chanel.
20:41Operation Model Hat.
20:42Your codename is now Westminster.
20:45The name Coco Chanel is synonymous with the fashion industry.
20:49However, the historical figure behind this brand
20:51had a rather complicated history.
20:54We talk about the involvement of Chanel with Nazi officers
20:57during her occupation of France in the Second World War.
21:00Chanel had a goal in mind
21:02regarding her collaborations with the SS.
21:05To free her nephew, who was held as a war prisoner.
21:09She decided to go to the French collaboration government
21:20and who were in touch with the Gestapo.
21:23Chanel's romantic adventure with Nazi officer Hans Gunther von Dinklage
21:28achieved this goal,
21:30but she remained in contact with Nazi leaders
21:32after the release of her nephew.
21:34One of Chanel's political allies
21:36was the aforementioned Winston Churchill,
21:38and thanks to this influence,
21:40the fashion icon was able to avoid
21:42the accusations of collaboration after the war.
21:45We've had many dinners together since the 20s,
21:48vacation together.
21:50So, it's personal.
21:52Oh, yes.
21:53Sir Winston has even taken the opportunity to cry in my lap.
21:56Promote segregation.
21:58Good girl, Wilson.
21:59He introduced Jim Crow to Washington, D.C.
22:04At a time when it was just starting to loosen up,
22:07he brought it back
22:09and it became, for all intents and purposes,
22:12the law of the land.
22:13To the historians of Sillon,
22:15I would like to point out that the former US president,
22:18Good Girl Wilson,
22:19would have wanted his 14 points or the society of nations
22:23to be part of his legacy.
22:25Instead, recently, it has become manifest
22:28how reluctant he was to listen to the voices of change
22:31and his growing cry for equality.
22:33The former president supported segregation at all times,
22:36and even imposed it within the branches of the federal government.
22:40In addition to this physical separation from whites,
22:43black federal workers were appointed to menial positions
22:46or reassigned to jobs slated for elimination.
22:50Wilson worked to remove African-American politicians from their positions
22:54and actively opposed the movement for female suffrage.
22:57The post-Civil War reconstruction in the United States was not easy,
23:01but the presence of Good Girl Wilson in the 20th century
23:05contributed to largely undermine much of the success of that time.
23:25The siege of Drogeda, Oliver Cranwell.
23:28The mere mention of the name Oliver Cranwell
23:31is enough to arouse many passionate opinions.
23:35And spits upon the name Oliver Cranwell
23:41The legacy of this former Lord Protector is not without complications,
23:44as some sides of history praise Cranwell's military power
23:48and others condemn him for the same reasons.
23:51The site of Drogeda was a military conflict often used
23:55to highlight Cranwell's brutality when his campaign in Ireland was criticized.
24:00Heard afterwards that Oliver Cranwell had ordered his men to take no prisoners
24:05and to kill the innocent.
24:07He justified his actions by claiming that the massacre was God's vengeance
24:11for the murder of Protestants in the rebellion of 1641.
24:15Sir Arthur Aston, in charge of defending the barracks,
24:18rejected the possibility of surrendering to the invading forces.
24:22As a result, almost all his men were killed,
24:26along with an undetermined number of civilians.
24:29It is this last fact that speaks of the frequency with which Cranwell's opposition was massacred,
24:34apparently without mercy or decency.
24:37Some defenders holed themselves up in St. Peter's Church.
24:41Cranwell's men set the church on fire and burned them all alive.
24:46When the roundheads had finished, there were 2,000 dead for us to bury.

25:04The Indian Transfer Law, Andrew Jackson.
25:07His face is still present in the US $20 bill,
25:10but maybe justice will reach former US President Andrew Jackson.
25:15This man's problematic legacy has grown exponentially in recent years,
25:20thanks above all to his application of the Indian Transfer Law in 1830.
25:26The Cherokees actually won a Supreme Court case over land in Georgia,
25:30but Jackson ignored the decision.
25:32Jackson promulgated the law, and the successor to the president, Martin Van Buren, continued to apply it.
25:38By virtue of this law, more than 60,000 Native Americans were forced to move to the West,
25:44a journey that became known as the Tear Trail.
25:48Many were shackled in chains and forced to walk, at gunpoint, more than 1,000 miles west,
25:54on a series of routes that all led to Oklahoma.
25:58Up to a third of the 15,000 Cherokee who were forced to make the journey died.
26:18To the west of the Mississippi River.
