Quote:Learn some history. The small pox thing is fact. I've learned this throughout high school and college. It's part of how we conquered the Native Americans and herded them like cattle onto reservations. Hitler imprisoned Jews in masses and put them in concentration camps and murdered them in gas chambers. Jackson had masses of Native Americans slaughtered and the ones he captured, he had relocated onto reservations in the middle of nowhere. He forced them to walk for many, many miles in ungodly harsh conditions with little food or water and small pox infected blankets to try and kill off the majority of them. He was just as bad as Hitler, but because he was American, we seem to give him a pass. 

 

It is sort of depressing that this is the kind of history that is taught in modern education. Your views on Andrew Jackson are extremely ignorant and you would do well to educate yourself. I suggest reading the biography Andrew Jackson by H.W. Brands. It is very insightful into Andrew Jackson's life and presidency while also covering the tough decisions he made regarding the Native American's and their relationship with American citizens.
