When president Andrew Jackson began to move the American citizens into the western regions, he had a problem; that land was inhabited by Native Americans. That didn't stop him. He sent out soldiers to force the Indians off the land by gunpoint. One famous event, was when the Cherokee Nation tried to fight Jackson. They sued America. The case got so big, it was brought up to the Supreme Court. The court ruled Jackson Unconstitutional, and said that the Cherokee did not have to leave. This didn't stop Jackson either. He still force the Cherokee off their homeland of Georgia, into a small piece of present-day Oklahoma with the other tribes. In my opinion, Jackson was a cruel and evil man. His face does not deserve to be printed on the 20 dollar bill. By the way, just a little fun fact: when Jackson was running against John Quincy Adams in 1828, Jackson was known as a democrat. Adams' followers called him a jack*** for his behavior. He liked it so much, he decided that the donkey would be the democrat's mascot. That is the story of how the donkey became the democratic animal of choice.

What is the Seminole War about?
Part of it is: The leader, Osceola, called to his followers and told them to go against the Indian Removal Act and the Second Seminole War was started. Osceola was taken prisoner and he died while he was a captive. About 4,000 Seminole Indians were removed from Florida and a few hundred of them were killed. Over time, the U.S. decided to stop trying to remove them so some small groups of Seminole Indians managed to stay in Florida. Plus some Seminole Indian descendants live in Florida currently.

The Indian Removal Act. As people began to move west they wanted the Native American lands, so the act made it official that the tribes were to be removed.
