Look I get it AJ was a harsh military leader.

No because people want AJ off currency because of his "brutal war acts"

Not wanting a man on currency who, at the time, helped concoct and push the single largest genocide in human history isn't "wussification," or even "a war act" by any means. He is America's Leopold in many ways, the difference being we kept winning wars and could write the history books however we wanted.

It's a bit of a shock he's stayed so long considering the amount of talk things as small as sports teams are getting, and its somewhat terrifying how America just seems to gloss over that part of our history, both in educating our youth and as adults trying to justify it.

I won't continue my argument because there really is no justification for the loss of human lives.

You have correctly put me in my place.

I sat here and thought of several things to respond with but they all were ignorant when thinking of the cost. Land-not a good excuse; Fear-even worse

Not a justification or an excuse, but we do need to guard against applying 21st century ethics and morals to those who lived in the 19th century.

Some of the things we are doing today may well be considered horrible 200 years from now.

Regardless, I didn't have an intelligent reply to his statement. Therefore, I knew I was wrong. I'm not a fan of being wrong but I will admit it when I am.

....like Christopher Columbus discovering America?

Historians and teachers need to get it right, for our children's and grandchildren's sake. History is cool --- but only if it's accurate.

Like many people from the east Tennessee - western North Carolina area I have Cherokee in my heritage. I will however not condemn the decision that Jackson made to remove the Cherokee people from this area. If AJ had done nothing, most of the Cherokees would have been wiped out as the settlers continued to move westward. Even though the forced march to Oklahoma caused the death of huge numbers of the Cherokee people it likely kept many more alive than if the move hadn't occurred.
History is written as historians want it to be believed by their readers. Most of the American Indians that died in the early years of this nation (up until the early 1900's) died because of the many types of disease that the settlers brought into this country. That was the real genocide.
Andrew Jackson should be left on the $20.00 bill.

We had another great day but we couldn't make it to the fireworks. Disney wins again. You are a tough nut to crack Disney.

EDIT: Gave and received lots of "GO VOLS!" today!

You have to catch the fireworks one night. We saw them twice...once from the observation deck of the California Grill in the Contemporary; the second time we stood beside the carousel right underneath them...awesome! My little girl loved being right underneath them.

Tomorrow is our last day and we have to be up at the butt crack of dawn to catch our flight. We saw the fireworks at Epcot the first night.

I'm afraid I couldn't be impartial, friend. First BS from a troll would get the ban hammer from me! But I do firmly believe that we don't need that crap in the recruiting forum. There's a whole other forum for people to spread their self-righteous beliefs about morality and justice. Just my opinion. Go Vols!

This is off topic forum. All kinds of things talked about in here that are wrong. Nothing "self-righteous" about being against murdering the most helpless and innocent. Just my opinion.
