This is an important subject that too many Americans know too little or nothing about.
Jerid Rutledge I don’t know a single American he doesn’t know about this. Start trying to look virtuous as if you care about the suffering of minorities in America or than other people because you don’t. You don’t care about the suffering of minorities or majorities in any sense more than any other American.
No kidding!

It's interesting that there is such an outcry against the Redskins team name but not a big push to get Jackson off our money.
YES!
crazy huh. people are asleep
I would guess this is because the vast majority of Americans don't know their own history well enough to know who Jackson was or what he did.
Well he’s not on the money for the trail tears. I’m sure he contributed positively to America. If you want to look back at every presidents history or somebody on money for anybody with the statue you were genuinely have to terret out everybody statue. Rosa parks seem to be unbelievably anti-synthetic and there’s butter in about Martin Luther King requirement watch other people write women. But I would imagine if you are taking out their statues. I’m sure we’ll have current people on money one day who support abortion which kills 1 million people year at United. Would be against that even if society finally declared it a barbaric act that it is because she would understand the nuances of the time. Just looking back on people that own slaves assuming you’re better than them because you don’t own slaves and you would’ve been against it at that time it’s just pathetic it’s not accurate and most people would freak out about slavery in the past do you support abortion which is equally if not more evil.
@@jessejive117 you're right, sure Hitler did some mean stuff, but he did some really cool stuff too...
Oh wait, no, shut up you fucking dork.
The Seminoles weren't the only ones who didn't leave. A group of Cherokees were able to escape, and hide out in the mountains. Their descendants now live on the reservation in Western NC.
Mike Adams A few bands fled south into Alabama around the Talladega National Forest area and assimilated. I can trace my family tree back to John Watts, there are still many people in Talladega and Clay Counties, in Alabama decended from the Chickamauga Cherokee there although very much bred out. Myself only being about 1/5 and of course we have lived as Europeans since the removal.
Charles Watts...I was working on my husband's tree & he's related to John Watts too! Ironically, he grew up on a street named Chickamauga. I'm so proud to be married to someone descended from such great people! It'll always be there & never bred out. Greatness never dies.
Opheliac I am sorry if you took away from my comments that I was in anyway not proud of my and my family's heritage or inclined to think that our people weren't or aren't great. I have had the pleasure and honor to research and preserve our people's heritage and I am so happy that you feel the same and are doing the same. I wish you and your family only the best and I am proud to share the same heritage. Best wishes.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. I know that sounds trite. Nothing I could say would ever be enough. I think nearly every day about the fact that I am walking on stolen ground. Please know that not everyone who is of only-Euro descent chooses to be "blissfully" ignorant of the crimes committed against the indigenous peoples.
Suzanne Emry Your are very gracious and understanding. God Bless.
In 1970, as a VISTA volunteer, my first assignment was to direct a group of high school Cherokee students in a play about the Trail of Tears. There was no internet or google at that time and I had never heard of it. So my apologies to anyone who was in that group. They learned their lines and put the play on, but my job was more of discipline and I'm not sure if anyone learned anything. Since then - and with this video - I have certainly rectified that. Knowing the current push to bury history such as this, it's deplorable to think that others might have to wait 50 years to learn real history. It's silly to be afraid of white guilt. Much more crucial to make sure some history is never repeated!
Your videos have helped me so much during my history classes. I love how you break it down and how you explain things to where I can understand. You also make sure to hit all the dates and names that are important. AMAZING videos. Thank you so much! Great TEACHER!

It’s sad that there’s more information on CZcams about this then scholarly articles. I wish I could cite this video. It would probably be a lot of work for you to add your resources but that would be great help in future videos.
All this information has been readily available in FREE libraries all over the USA for decades. Problem is Americans don’t read.
89five3five I was doing a paper on it at the time. And how about you create a link to all the libraries then? If you know Americans don’t read create a solution for that instead of being a smart ass. Stay blessed.
There’s plenty of family stories passed on from ancestors from that removal. They literally was forced to walk off their ancestral lands without a notice and chased off at gun point by soldiers while being shot at during that removal with no time to rest heading west. Even tho the Courts of the us justice said we had a right to be there..but still forced off the lands. The endurance of my people gives me strength and the stories must continue to be told even tho history writes it’s version.
Well done! I'm Choctaw and really appreciate how fast and accurate this was. Thank you.
As a Canadian I highly enjoy the content provided by this channel. It is very interesting to learn the history of our brothers to the south. Even then this episode made me a bit ashamed of Mr. Jackson and the way he treated the natives, then again Canada also has some stains on our history. The Chinese immigrants and the Pacific Railway being one of them.
Thumbs up! Keep em' coming Hip Hughes!
Thanks, I dig my northern neighbors. I live in Buffalo so I travel to the land of Molsons often. I've even been infected with a Canadian "ouut" in my grammar leading some to assume I may be one of you. I am not. Not that there is anything wrong with being Canadian. ...joking of course... But I do appreciate the comment and your viewership, I hope you can share the channel with your peeps. I look forward to more of your commentary!
well, immigrants and native people are different.
Canadian Genocide of the Indian by the queen, pedophilia, murder of Indian children all by Christian nuns and priests. Which a few years ago they discovered mass graves of children in Canada. And not to far in the past I think it was 7 or 8 children that disappeared after being invited from the queen. Of course it was covered up but eventually was exposed.

Wexter0083 The trail of tears was horrible but they would’ve been treated equally as horrible if not significantly more horrible than any other country. The last thing you would want them to get done is been anywhere in Africa or the Middle East they were slaughtered every single one of them torture them to death. But I like your comment it’s nice not to hear people trying to virtue signal about how they think this is horrible and most people don’t. That’s why I have to say are these comments sections typically nothing but people pretending like they’re better than everybody in the past despite them probably supporting abortion or not being adamantly against it they killed 1 million people in the United States every year. We can all rationalize unbelievably evil things even now...
@@jessejive117 abortion in the first trimester is not murder because ypu are noy even close to human after 6 weeks

I saw a thread on Facebook suggesting that we switch Andrew Jackson's face on the $20 bill to someone else. I think we should keep it on. Not to honor Andrew Jackson but to get people thinking. People who don't know about him or at least smart people who like to ask question would look him up so that his shame would not be forgotten.
Well Andrew Jackson will be replaced by Harriet Tubman
So many things I didn't understand in class but thanks to your amazing work everything is so clear now !

Q: Why was the Indian leery of moving away?
A: He had his reservations!

Thank you. I feel like I was missing a lot of important details.
I learned about this in U.S. History class. People did so many messed up things in the past!
without this bit of legislation i would never exist (1/8th creek and allot of black freemen creek and cherokee tribe members in my background, allot of former slaves also walked the trail of tears), but this single event completely skews my view of jackson, he is the only president that i can say that i personally hate, and i really dislike hate regardless of the source or reason, but i just can't think about this event in the history of my own ancestors without getting a few tears every time. for me it is just more evidence that everyone has a bias so i need to watch out for my own, but that still doesn't change the fact that i would love to douse a living jackson in a deep fat fryer just long enough to to burn the crap out of him yet leave him alive to suffer a lingering death. yeah, hatred is a pretty disturbing thing.
Just make sure he isn't holding his cane when you go at him. Thanks for you comment and layering of the event.
Keith Hughes good point, he is known for beating off an assassination attempt with his cane.

It doesnt
@@matthewyeung9774 lol
@@matthewyeung9774 These tribes lost land that had major spiritual significance to them. They still can't regain access to the lands that are rightfully theirs. The tribes on the Trail of Tears were described as the "Civilized Tribes" because they had largely agreed to live peacefully alongside European settlers, and had adopted settler culture as it helped with co-existence. That the government forcibly removed them afterward led to an abiding lack of trust between the tribes and the United States, and subsequent laws, from the Dawes Act which led to massive acquisition of native lands by European speculators, through the Termination of the Reservations in the 1960s, have -- it can be argued -- ensured this alienation is still felt today.
I shit you not I was listening to Iron Maiden while watching this video and fucking Run to The Hills played, perfect timing lmao
Love iron maiden 😂
I liked it because it was really educational and he went into detail about everything, and explained everything clearly.
You forgot to mention a small group of Indians agreed to sell the land. They were betrayed by their own people.

hey Keith, can you weigh in on the Standing Rock Reservation vs pipeline issue?
p.s you rock, my students watch you all the time!

It's pronounced 'Wustersher', not 'warchester'. Thanks from an English person.
He's American.. Why do you expect him to pronounce things the way you do- how ignorant can you be?
Here's a better and more accurate explanation of Indian removal that considers THE single most critical component, which is always left out.
Indian Removal was not necessarily a physical relocation of people but the removal of the Indian identity from the people themselves. By this, it is to be understood that the vast majority of the indigenous people never died or left their land. They were merely reclassified into a racial type and as a result lost their Indian identity. Remember, the condition for recognition as an Indian was relocation to Indian territory out west. Otherwise you did not keep your status and therefore not recognized as an Indian, which meant, for example, the vast majority of Southeastern indigenous people were reclassified to Negro, as white was not an option.
This is an indisputable fact as verified by legislation of the time. This is also an understanding that is presently being made more public by individuals, national as well as international organizations.
President Obama sought to address and provide remedy for this atrocity by making the United States of signatory of UNDRIP, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. This measure was taken to address a historical wrongdoing for a people who lost their indigenous identity to people that wanted their land. Think about it, this would have made no sense if all the Indians were dead!
The Indian removal was based on mass murder you idiot. Nice try.
I am watching this for my class right now
you explain things really well. I have a STAAR test coming up, and you're videos are helping me preare
As a Texan, I'm glad you brung up the fact that people like Davy Crockett fought against the Indian Removal Act. And that reminds me. Here's a little fact.
Sam Houston was actually the adopted son of a Native American Chief known as "John Jolly" but was also said to be friends with Jackson at the same time.
""I am aware that in presenting myself as the advocate of the Indians and their rights, I shall stand very much alone." - Sam Houston
I actually have no idea if Sam Houston directly opposed the Indian Removal Act, but considering he was close friends with the Native Americans I'd assume he did. Very interesting video, I think I'll sub!
Sam Houston would eventually removed as Govenor of Texas because he refused to suceed from the Union in 1861.
White savior trope
Thanks so much! I've been doing notes in school and it's just kind of hard to understand sometimes. You made it a lot simpler for me to understand! Really appreciate it!

Teach your children how to learn from the perspective of opposing views. The most valuable lesson a teacher can provide, don't believe your lying eyes.
Democrats gotta own this and this was the founder of the democratic parties legacy, slavery in the United States, Jim Crowe laws and the KKK. Republicans have the legacy of ending slavery from their founder. I’m so proud of right wing history. Now democrats get to own policy that has absolutely decimated the inner-city and affected black people negatively by creating a breeding ground for gang crime and single motherhood and also killing 1,000,000 unborn human beings. They’ve killed significantly more people than Hitler did. Congratulations democrats on actually being significantly historically and presently worse than Hitler. I’m impressed and disgusted.

Um .. this is NOT accurate. You cannot over simplify the genocide & oppression we STILL face today as indigenous AMERICANS. Natives don’t have HALF the issues we do in this fed ass prison colony. Come on over to one of our channel and enlighten yourself. Search African Americans aint African .. all of our panels will have information you’ve never known
This is why Andrew Jackson should be listed in the bottom of American presidents. Also, why he should be off of the $20 bill. NOW!
Your history is good but not your geography. The southeastern tribes were removed to what is now eastern Oklahoma which is certainly NOT "the worst land in the country" or a "dry arid deserty land ... where nothing really grows". Eastern Oklahoma is actually rather wet with 35 to 45 inches of annual rainfall and forests mingled with grasslands. Your background photograph is certainly NOT Oklahoma. We don't have big mountains like that here (I actually live in western Oklahoma, which is drier but not a desert).
It's also part of "tornado alley". So there's that. Have you actually been to Eastern Oklahoma? Would You honestly CHOSE to live there? I sure as hell would Not.
I'm of Cherokee ancestry but I was born in CA. As much as I'd like to learn more about my Native heritage and would like to live around more people from a similar cultural background to my own, I am definitely NOT willing to move to OK to do so.
Quite frankly I doubt most people in America would be willing to voluntarily live in OK. The Indians there were mostly born there and probably stay mostly because their friends and family are also there, plus they probably feel that they have few other options.
It is NOT a desirable area of the country nor is it exactly prime farm land.
Bottom line, Uncle Sam has Never given Indians the "good" land.
Alyson Johnson The legacy of this one President is now being passed down to the ideology of the current sitting President. What was history for we as native Americans is now present day life as a Native American in this land the settlers have called America. No, I am not a left wing liberal democrat, I’m an independent conservative who simply feels our heritage and our legacy as native Americans is under attack again from and by a president who idolizes Andrew Jackson! I am from Oklahoma and only chose to leave to better myself by choosing a job outside our state border. I love Oklahoma and would welcome living in Oklahoma again if the opportunity presented itself. Andrew Jackson deserves to be negated from our history books or at least revealed as the vile and dispicable human being that he was.
Thank you for helping me on this summative assesmet
Is nobody going to address the acronym 'The IRA'? I'm English and over here we study something called GCSE's which stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education. We do them in up to 11 or so chosen subjects. For my History GCSE, I'm studying the American West 1830-1885. So, I came on this video for help. I noticed that the title is 'The IRA'. In Britain, predominantly Ireland and Northern Ireland, (and most educated people will know of this too) the troubles took place and have done for many decades of the 1900's. It is still relevant today. A large part of this were the IRA (Irish Republican Army) who were responsible for hundreds of acts of violence from petty crimes all the way up to bombings. I would be careful to how you abbreviate things, as you certainly don't want to be confusing the IRA with anything else.

Can Someone Quickly explain What he just Said
I don't understand why these first nation peoples were forced to move. Did they not have freedom of travel to go where they want? Was there some law forcing them onto reservations? If the government stole their land, why couldn't they rent somewhere nearby?
Fire incarnation too, since this wasn't taught in u.s. history classes, few people have any understanding of what really happened. If you want to really educate yourself, get the book American Holocaust. It's very enlightening.
Good job on explaining this!

Jakson was worst than Hitler.
I would like to know if the american government make some apologizes to the idians for what happend to them (Removal Act, the boarding school..)
Sorry for my imperfect English :)
Waimea Bay In several ways you might say that Indians are getting indirect apologies from the U.S. government. Several Indian tribes are quite powerful because of their mineral rights on tribal land which is rich in oil and natural gas deposits. More than a few Indians (females included) are in state legislative positions.
An example of something that few U.S. citizens can not get away with doing is buying ANY car they want to without having to pay excise tax for the vehicle purchase to the U.S. government. Most any roll eligible Native American Indian can register their car, truck or motorcycle with their tribe and receive tribal license plates to affix to their vehicle(s). They must still maintain proper insurance on the vehicles but otherwise, in most cases they can legally drive them on any roadway in North America without trouble. There are some exceptions but they are few.
Here is an example:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ferrari_360_Cherokee_Nation.JPG
NO, is the proper answer to this question.
Of all the minorities within the US population, American Indians have the highest rates of suicide, alcoholism & drug addiction.
They also have the highest rates of premature death from purely medical causes, starting with shockingly high rates of infant mortality & continuing all throughout their lives, with the highest rates of fatal chronic disease such as heart disease. Mostly this is due to the shocking lack of health care, including a lack of mental health care, within any reasonable driving distance of most Indian Reservations. There is no public transit available to get them to the doctor, either.
American Indians also have the absolute lowest rates of high school and college graduation, the lowest per capita income, and the lowest rates of literacy.
The American government continues to screw over Native Americans in countless ways. They do not have normal freedoms on their Reservations nor do they have the normal protections of law which other Americans enjoy, on their Reservations. It's a very sad and complicated situation which very few non Indians understand, aside from those few people who have actually lived on the Reservations or who have worked there.
"Racer" who first responded to your question is familiar with only one small aspect of being Native American. Yes,, I suppose IF you could somehow afford to have a car custom imported, just for yourself, then I suppose there would be a small "perk" of living on an Indian Reservation, in that you could have exotic cars unavailable to anyone else imported, and could get them registered and licensed, so that you could drive them on most roads in the nation. However, you could not sell them because others would not be able to get them licensed nor legally drie them on the nation's public roads.
What "Racer" seems Not to realize is that since Native Americans have the very highest rates of poverty, and the very lowest per capita incomes of ANY minority in the US, virtually NONE of them would ever be able to take advantage of the laws he cites. The idea of Native Americans custom importing an exotic car, just for their personal use is frankly ridiculous, given how horribly impoverished the vast majority of American Indians actually are.
Also, the vast majority of American Indians are now urban, just like the rest of America's citizens. Only the minority Indians actually now live on Indian Reservations. The vast majority of us are also Not Registered with the government, so we are not even recorded as being officially "Indian".
In part, this is because it is very difficult to prove one's ancestry going back far enough. Rural births of white people weren't reliably registered at county court houses or with other official United States bureaucracies, until the mid 20th century. American Indians almost Never officially recorded the births of their children with official US government agencies.
In large part, the reason it is so difficult to trace one's Indian heritage today is directly BECAUSE OF the Indian schools. Obviously there were serious negative consequences to being officially recognized as being "Indian"! This is why people tried NOT to register themselves or their children.
Most people tried to HIDE their Native American ancestry as much as possible, for their own safety and for the survival of their children. Indian women, in particular, intermarried as often as possible, for the same reasons. If there was a white father in the home, the children, even if half Indian, would Not be taken away and placed in an Indian school.
Waimea Bay the government figured free health care for Indians was good enough of an appoligy
I have a project due tomorrow i this helped.
Bro I literally waited an hour in class for useless info 💀
Yo chief, wat is that intro song. It’s bumpin
You all know what's really hard to understand? How this prestigious land was literally stolen from the first Americans that have already flourished here for centuries and how bad they took it away and nobody did anything about it. We been settling here at the time the Roman empire was clashing. They were about power and war... we were about coexisting with the earth and its medicinal powers it provided and how the earth and heavens were connected. Yes we natives did war with each tribes, but it was a part of life to make sure we all had room to grow.. did we need asphalt and concrete? Electricity and barbed fences? Guns and alcohol to make and control? No. But the whites did.. came by the thousands with same thing in mind. It's now mine and I'll kill you for it.. why wasn't this taught in schools? Truth of how the American people were genocide by another race and held captive and slaved in our own country. Took away our way of life, and our languages, our meat and medicines.. our creator saw every bit of what happened to us.. and now look at the way life is now. We are prepared to get it back and ready to return to the land once the whites have been done using up their resources and creator will take it back, the big scrape will come again making it a peaceful place for those willing to make it Indian land again.
Do you know anything about what happened to the indigenous peoples in Northeast Ohio? I grew up in Western Washington. Most of the kids I went to school with who were of indigenous descent were Quinalt. (I'd say about 25% of the population had significant indigenous ancestry.) I worked with a woman who was/is the last person from the Ho tribe to have only Ho ancestry. (Yes, that IS their name. It's not their fault that it means something awful now.) I moved out to Ohio in 2007 and my then husband pointed (very vaguely) to a hill and said that that was an Indian burial mound but it was near a naturally occuring hill and I couldn't tell which was which from the way he was pointing. He said that it was the one with a certain building on top of it and my stomach lurched. The utter disrespect.
Anyway, as far as I know, I have not met a single person who is descended from the indigenous peoples in this area and it really bothers me. Like giving me nightmares bothers me. What happened to them? Can you recommend any books that might fill me in?
Suzanne Emery, I'm not sure if this book specifically addresses Ohio, but it is certainly a good overview. It is called American Holocaust. Would be well worth your time.
i still gonna fail my test sir...
