In the year 1838, 16,000 Native Americans were marched over 1,200 miles of rugged land. Over 4,000 of these Indians died of disease, famine, and warfare.

The Trail of Tears happened when Hernando De Soto took his adventures to America. After he came to America more and more Europeans came and began to invade an Indian land.

Younger generations are more diverse in the workforce today than previous generations, millennials are more likely to be racial or ethnic minorities than members of silent generations, due to the large scale of immigration, the rise of racial intermarriage, and differences in fertility patterns across racial and ethnic groups, all contributed to more diversity than prior generations, (M. Biro, 2016).
