[Lady Freedom]

OR
B: Get rid of the Bank of the United States(BUS).

1. The genocide against Native Americans ranks right up there --

-- with me.

A colorful but limited man who should be the subject of a serious film by Robert Altman.

Just a thought.

2. C: The massacre of Native Americans

Guilty of cruel and wanton murder. Obviously, I am not a big fan of Old Hickory.

3. A.

He was one bigoted SOB when it came to native americans.

[Lady Freedom]

7. Remember that he was following the Jefferson plan

Either Removal or Assimilation. It was many of the citizens that wanted a third, death to all.

[Sequoia]

4. Answer is A

Even when Congress told him the Cherokee had a right to be there in Georgia, his attitude to congress was, Let 'em try to stop me. I don't need anyone's persmission. Bring 'em on.

[Lady Freedom]

8. It was the Supreme Court.

The Cherokee sued the government it the Supreme Court and won.

11. Remember this was not just about the Cherokee

my Creek ancestors suffered as did other tribes in the southeastern frontier.

[Lady Freedom]

12. All 5 of the civilized tribes did!

[Abelman]

5. This is just me going out on a limb,

but I would have to say it was his merciless slaughter of native Americans.

I used to think he was such a cool guy in my youth. Not a lot of heroes left from the beginning of the country.

6. Old Hickory

Is A-Okay with me.

9. my roommate raised this point a couple of weeks ago

that if you're going to judge pretty much any of our presidents, you have to ignore what they did to the indians, because they all did it. every single one of em, massacred the shit out of all of em. so you kind of have to push that aside otherwise they would all be terrible presidents. (and he's a quarter cherokee)

10. Well A

because, in addition to the stand alone awfulness of the deed, he was also sending a big 'FUCK YOU!' to the Supreme Court who had ruled against his doing this very thing.

I won't be boycotting $20 bills because of it, though.

13. Trail of Tears

mass forced resettlement and genocide caused not by cultural conflict (after all the Cherokee were called "civilised") but by pure greed for land.
