I have.

Evne though close in history, the early to mid 19th century was quite a different world than today. You need to keep that in context.

Also keep in mind that indians weren’t particularly nice to people either. Before “whitey” showed up, indians abused each other just as much, if not more.

Jackson was not the first to execute such a forced transplant.

The Acadian French in Louisiana were forced out of Canada by the brits in the French and Indian war.

Different time. Definitely more brutal than today.

Andrew Jackson was a product of the time, not vice-versa.

Agreed. But he sure was no saint. I have no problem leaving him on the $20.
