Atrocities Committed by
U.S.President Andrew Jackson

"Jackson's Trail of Murder"

WHO ELSE IN HISTORY WAS A HYPOCRITE WHO LAUGHED AT THE LAW
AND CARED NOTHING ABOUT THE EFFECT ON NATIVE PEOPLE?

In 1831 the Supreme Court of the United States, in a decision rendered by Justice, John Marshall, declared the forced removal of the entire Cherokee Nation from their ancestral homes in the South Eastern United States to be illegal, unconstitutional and against treaties made. President Andrew Jackson, having the executive responsibility for enforcement of the laws had this to say:

"John Marshall has made his decision; let him enforce it now if he can."

U.S. President ANDREW JACKSON whose life was saved by the Cherokee at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, sent 4,000 Cherokee children, women and men
to their deaths.

WE DEMAND THIS MAN WHO PUBLICLY CONFESSED HIS CONTEMPT FOR THE LAW BE TRIED FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY,
THE DEATH OF CHEROKEE CHILDREN

His genocide of 4,000 Cherokee is honored by the
United States on the $20 bill
THE BLOOD MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES

The result of this man's failure as chief executive to enforce the law was 4,000 Cherokee children, women and men who died when they were
driven like cattle to Oklahoma.
This was done by US troops under the direction of General Winfield Scott at the direction of President Andrew Jackson.
This is JACKSON'S TRAIL OF MURDER

• "I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west....On the morning of November the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on March the 26th 1839, the sufferings of the Cherokees were awful. The trail of the exiles was a trail of death. They had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire. And I have known as many as twenty-two of them to die in one night of pneumonia due to ill treatment, cold and exposure..."

WE DEMAND THIS MAN WHO OPENLY VIOLATED THE LAW
BE TRIED FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

HE WILL BE KNOWN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS FOR HIS MURDER OF CHEROKEE CHILDREN

The Cherokee are also classified as redskins.
Does North High School teach the true meaning of their name, redskins?

IF THIS KILLING HAD HAPPENED TO ANY GROUP OF WHITE CHRISTIANS IN THE UNITED STATES WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? WOULD THOSE 4,000 DEAD WHITE CHRISTIANS BE MASCOTS TODAY? WOULD THE MAN WHO SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IT HAVE HIS PICTURE ON YOUR MONEY? WHY IS, Andrew Jackson, THE MAN WHO SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THIS MASS DEATH HONORED WITHIN THE SCHOOL HISTORY BOOKS OF AMERICA? BY HAVING JACKSON GLORIFIED IN HISTORY THE UNITED STATES DECLARES THAT IT IS HONORABLE TO HATE A REDSKIN.

THE HISTORY BOOKS DO NOT SPEAK WELL OF ADOLF HITLER, LIKEWISE, WE ARE DEMANDING THAT ANDREW JACKSON'S NAME BE EXPLAINED AS
THE MAN WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE DEATH OF 4,000 CHEROKEE

DOES THE EXISTING PRESIDENT CLINTON PUT HIMSELF ABOVE THELAWS? WILL HE ENFORCE THEM OR MAKE THE SAME STATEMENT THAT THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO INDIANS?

WHO IS AMERICA TEACHING TO COMMIT THE NEXT ATROCITIES BY NEGLECTING THE LESSONS OF HISTORY?

STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COME TO AMERICA TO GET AN EDUCATION
WHAT WILL THEY TELL THEIR COUNTRYMEN ABOUT AMERICAN RACISM AND BIGOTRY?

90 tribes, in addition to the Cherokee, were removed from their homes to Indian Territory,
now Kansas and Oklahoma. They suffered atrocities, attacks on their children, race, culture and religions. To be called a redskin was a sentence of death. They had been promised by treaties
to be left unmolested in peace on the land to which they were removed,
"As long as the rivers run and the grass shall grow"

Oklahoma Indian Territory was dissolved with the forced allotments of lands made by the application of
the Dawes Act virtually complete in 1926
concurrent with the creation of the of the American Indian Mascot.
