>> What would your "logic" tell you? In my view, ethnic cleansing and genocide are two different things, although there are similarities, and genocide may even be a tactic used for ethnic cleansing. I believe the Trail of Tears was more of an ethnic cleansing than it was a genocide. The underlying intent was not the death of the victims, but was in fact to relocate. That 1/4 to 1/3 died in the process of relocation was tragic but, IMO, is not the same thing as genocide. That so many others died after the relocation was again tragic, and even a tragic miscalculation by government, but not genocide. As another example, Obamacare, if not repealed, will obviously kill more people than the trail of tears, but it will not have been genocide. It will have been just another example of government programs gone awry. That a lot of people lose their lives is tragic, but it isn't always genocide.
