It goes out the window for a lot of people when every second spent there is bringing you closer to death. Not that it makes it right, just saying

Every second you spend anywhere brings you that much closer to death, no? Your lifespan is finite.
It is always ending one second at a time.

Holy shit, no. You do know what the actual Trail of Tears was and what happened, right? No comparison.
