This card comes from a librarian in Tulsa. She found this card at a flea market. She mentions the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was a forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of about 60 000 peoples of the "Five Civilized Tribes" and their black slaves between 1830 and 1950 by the United States Government.

Cherokee (Aniyvwiya), Muscogee (Mvskoke), Seminole, Chicksaw (Chikashsha), and Choctaw (Chahta) nations were forcibly moved to the new designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River as a result of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. The relocated people suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their destinations or shortly thereafter.

3566 - Bakhmach, Chernihiv, Ukraine

Bakhmach is locarted in northern Ukraine. I'm taking this next paragraph straight out of Wikipedia: During the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 26, 2022, at least 65 units of Russian military equipment moved through Bakhmach, with about a hundred more on the outskirts. Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air. Слава Україні!
