He ignored the Supreme Court when they ruled in favour of the “Civilised Tribes.” Nice to see the court correcting that abuse as much as it can 160 years later.
Trump should move the statue of Andrew Jackson to the Southern White House to protect from the rest as a reminder of a traitor like someone we have now.
The U.S. stuck Indians on what was believed to be useless lands. Then, dang nab it, gold, coal, and other valuable minerals were discovered on several of the “worthless” tracts. The U.S. was able to steal the Black Hills despite treaties giving them to the Indians but missed doing so with other lands.

Old Hickory bears a striking resemblance to “Achmed, The Dead Terrorist”. Mr. Two Bulls recognizes murdering bullies when he sees them.

Remember, Andrew Jackson actually DISOBEYED a SCOTUS ruling in order to force Native Americans out of Georgia.
