      abstract = {University of Southern California professor of journalism  Langguth maintains America's first civil war occurred  during the 1830s when Andrew Jackson expelled Indian tribes  from the Deep South and created a bitter North-South  conflict.  Cherokees "were driven out of Georgia at bayonet  point by U.S. Army forces led by General Winfield Scott. At  the center of the story are the American statesmen of the  day -- Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, John C. Calhoun --  and those Cherokee leaders who tried to save their people  -- Major Ridge, John Ridge, Elias Boudinot, and John Ross.  Driven West presents wrenching firsthand accounts of the  forced march across the Mississippi along a path of misery  and death that the Cherokees called the Trail of Tears.   Survivors reached the distant Oklahoma Territory that  Jackson had marked out for them, only to find that the  bloodiest days of their ordeal still awaited them"--From  publisher description.},
