Indian Removal Act of 1830

Indian Removal Act of 1830 displaced and forcibly removed thousands of Native Americans from their homeland.
Atrocities Committed by U.S.President Andrew Jackson
"Jackson's Trail of Murder"
WHO ELSE IN HISTORY WAS A HYPOCRITE WHO LAUGHED AT THE LAW
AND CARED NOTHING ABOUT THE EFFECT ON NATIVE PEOPLE? In 1831 the Supreme Court of the United States, in a decision rendered by Justice, John Marshall, declared the forced removal of the entire Cherokee Nation from their ancestral homes in the South Eastern United States to be illegal, unconstitutional and against treaties made. President Andrew Jackson, having the executive responsibility for enforcement of the laws had this to say:
"John Marshall has made his decision; let him enforce it now if he can." U.S. President ANDREW JACKSON whose life was saved by the Cherokee at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, sent 4,000 Cherokee children, women and mento their deaths. THIS MAN WHO PUBLICLY CONFESSED HIS CONTEMPT FOR THE LAW BE TRIED FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, THE DEATH OF CHEROKEE CHILDREN His genocide of 4,000 Cherokee is honored by the United States on the $20 bill THE BLOOD MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES

The result of this man's failure as chief executive to enforce the law was 4,000 Cherokee children, women and men who died when they were
driven like cattle to Oklahoma.
This was done by US troops under the direction of General Winfield Scott at the direction of President Andrew Jackson.
This is JACKSON'S TRAIL OF MURDER
"I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west....On the morning of November the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on March the 26th 1839, the sufferings of the Cherokees were awful. The trail of the exiles was a trail of death. They had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire. And I have known as many as twenty-two of them to die in one night of pneumonia due to ill treatment, cold and exposure..."
-Private John G. Burnett

Shame on the US government.

Great video. Sounds like the Americans were Imperial Terrorists

[ParrhesiaJoe]

Um... this happens a lot lately, it seems... but...

Well, I've hated Jackson for this for a long time... but my girlfriend, aided by Wikipedia and Google...

It's not that simple. Jackson... there's a lot of reasons to paint Jackson in a negative light, and that does not give him a pass for not forseeing how this would all turn out...

... but there are other villians we must not overlook.

There is a gold rush in there that gets overlooked... and some powerful interests.

A sad thing when certain parts of the government disregard the rules and regulations set upon itself by the founders of this nation. He should've been checked!

@CoolCat00001 Did you not listen to the video? John Marshall and the Supreme Court ruled that removing the Cherokee was unconstitutional. Andrew Jackson broke American law and moved them regardless.

[uncleruckus714]

How did Andrew Jackson slept at night knowing that he was responsible for many Native American deaths thanks to the Trail Of Tears?

[Exor5445]

@Laoch111 You mean shame on andrew jackson? Remember, the supreme court said removing the indians was illegal, but jackson did it anyway, and the government was powerless to stop him. That is precisely why the whig political party(weak president) flourished after jacksons term.

[OfficialGetGln]

Does the military follow the rule of law or the whims of the president?

Does the U.S. government respect the rule of law?

Does the military respect the rule of law?
