![]() I'm not denying that. Does that makes the professors comments accurate? Do you think we should give up Thanksgiving? Is Thanksgiving a celebration of the murder of Indians?

However, as in so many things, there is more to the story. Jackson moved the native americans to remove a ready tool of american enemies, such as england and france. He did what he did based on what he thought was best fir the u.s. truth be told, when one considers the why, what argument can someone make that jackson was wrong? Could thing have been handled better? Sure. Did he have every reason to think his actions were justified? Absolutely.

and france became very involved in mexico. santa anna didn't lose his leg fighting americans, it was the french. jackson didn't hate the indians, many had been his allies when he was fighting the indian tribes in the years before the battle of new orleans. the whites had a lot of land compared to population. he just felt they would be used, again, as they had been used so often before. that our enemies would use them to cause us issues. |

![]() As for jackson, i think his legacy suffers from people who only fasten on his indian removal policy, rather than looking into his detailed reasons why. After the revolution, before the 1812 to 1815 war, the brits frequently encouraged indian uprisings against us.
Oh, and our ally, france....yeah, she helped us vs britain, but didn't exactly want us to win. It was in their best interests to keep it going as long as possible, as a way to weaken britain, thus strengthening france.
