Quote:If anyone should tear down the Jackson monument, it should be Native Americans. Jackson had more of them murdered than any other person. I've always considered the man a war criminal. He was the first to use biological warfare when he sent Native Americans on "The Trail of Tears", knowingly giving them blankets infected with smallpox. The man was no better than Hitler. With that said, I have no idea what this has to do with the Black Lives Matter movement.

 

Whoa what? Andrew Jackson was nothing even close to being Hitler. First of all, your accusation that Andrew Jackson sent small-pox infected blankets is pure, unadulterated fabrication. Second, the Trail of Tears, while inhumane for modern era, was tame compared to what other western nations were doing to indigenous populations at the same time. I can understand peoples dislike of Andrew Jackson, but to compare him to Hitler is just ignorant of historical reality.
