You guys always seem to leave out the part where these Indians were killing American settlers. It's not like Jackson said "hey, for shits and giggles, let's massacre these people."

Can you provide a source on how many white settlers were murdered by the Five Civilized Tribes prior to the Trail of Tears to back that up?

Even if there were a source for that, it's not like anyone wouldn't potentially kill someone who was determined to settle down in their home without permission.


They had permission via a treaty signed by the Cherokee people. The Trail of Tears took place because the Indians did not want to leave land that had been legally granted to the U.S.

There is evidence that the treaty was not signed by relevant tribal authorities and might have been signed under the threat of force (automatically nullifying it). It would be like if China signed a treaty with AlternativeFAQs for all of our land, without consulting the Senate or President.
