Where can I find out your version? It’s never cut and dried in history as the lefties try and make out.
I read that from an ancient micro-filmed history book on the internet. Judging from the typeset and appearance, it was printed in the 1800s. I ran across it while researching “Cherokee script.”
Jackson certainly was no friend of the Indians, and David Crockett broke with him over what he considered Jacksons’s mistreatment of the Indians.
I always liked Jackson, so a few years back I bought an “awards winning” brand new bio of Jackson and was surprised that it was written from the standpoint of Jackson being a white supremacist. I kid you not. And a few years ago during a July 4th gathering, my nephew (college student) was lecturing me that American history is based on white supremacy. He was being taught that, and it is nationwide. Professors can’t get hired or retain their jobs unless they parrot the party line.
Americans did not believe, and no one much from the beginning of civilization ever did, that there was strength in diversity. I once saw a newspaper with a top of the fold (front page) article of Jesse Jackson telling a white audience there was strength in diversity. Same page, bottom of the fold, he was telling a black audience there was strength in unity.
Incidentally, I won’t get in to it, but there were much greater and more severe dislocations and much greater loss of life of Southern civilians by Federal troops during the Civil War than occurred during the Indian Removal. Edgar Lee Masters was one of the few big names who wrote about it.
