[@paulmentzer7658]

And how could Jackson enforce that decision? The US Army was less then 15000 men mostly in the Great Plains. The only east west connection was the Erie Canal, thus hard to move troops east to west or west to east. Most of the states supported Georgia in its desire to remove the First Americans westward (even New York State will try to do so about the same time period but a sale of land was arranged instead). The Militia of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and North Carolina out numbered the US Regular army. South Carolina was in the middle of the nullification crisis, where South Carolina said it could nullify any federal law it disliked, and Jackson was counting on the Militia of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee to put down that act of rebellion. Unlike Lincoln 30 years later, who could count on Northern support to put down the South and rely on the existing of the New York Central, Pennsylvania and Batitmore and Ohio railroads to move troops east to west and west to east, Jackson had little support to put down a rebellion in the South outside the deep South and a much weaker infrastructure to move troops to put down a rebellion. Sorry, but to stop the removal of the Cherokees was not possible in 1836, furthermore Jackson was out of office when the removal took place, Van Bureau was President during the trail of tears.

[@SamWinchester000]

He was one of the most important and influential presidents ever, and he was a champion of democracy and the rights of the white man, of course an overly nationalist and patriotic white America would put him on a dollar bill. Especially in a time where Jackson, Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington had been the greatest presidents in the history of the nation up to that point. Who else would you expect on the dollar? Franklin Pierce, Rutherford B. Hayes, John Quincy Adams, Zachary Taylor? I guess not. James K. Polk might bei debatable but I guess, as he came and gone in very rapid time and his time and his control of politics were very short, he began to be glorified and resurface in the eyes of the public much later.

It is sad seeing the state of indian reservations. If we truly want what is best for native americans, we would dismantle the reservations, no longer isolating them from the rest of the country. That wish probably is just disillusionment as history has shown we were never good at solving the problem, just kicking it doen the road (usually through indian relocation).

[@flamefusion8963]

Liberosity Definitely. Clearly there is a problem when despite getting statistically the most government aid, natives are performing the worst economically (making on average less than half the average US Citizen). These reservations and constant aid programs keep them in permanent poverty.

[@iammrbeat]

Agree as well. Maybe, though, there could be some sort of aid to help them acquire property they so they could independently build up wealth. It's needs to be easier for them to be competitive in the modern, global economy, but they don't have the same opportunities as many Americans.

[@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions]

That was a thing called "Assimilation", which actually damaged Native American tribes even more. It was tried during the twenties (probably way earlier) to I think the sixties, which extinguished land claims as well as the tribes themselves, it just caused a lot of problems! I feel Native American tribes should have binding representation in the House of Representatives just like state populations. In my opinion the map of the United States should include the borders of tribal reservations to show them as equal but different to states. Tribes as said in this video don't have to follow state law and since they do have to follow federal they should be shown as equal in maps as it not only 50 states but also several tribes as well.

[@SeriousPOV]

As horrific as this is, but important to add, it happens again in Indian Territory,(IT) aka Oklahoma Territory, aka the State of Oklahoma (1907) which was given in perpetuity to the so called Indians for the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The sophisticated tools are the Dawes Act(1887) which eliminates Indian lands & carve the land into 160 acre lots to be sold. Then comes the Curtis Act(1898), which taking a page out of Georgia's legislation in the 1830's and eliminates the sovereignty of natives who were piled into this locale. Here is the kicker; strategically left in Indian Territory are 2 million acres of land in the center of IT which are also carved up in 160 acre lots that obstensibly were homesteaded for and by white settlers in 1889; the Oklahoma Land rush. Oklahoma had seven land rushes ending in 1895. You'll never look at the musical Oklahoma again the same way. If you are familiar with the University of Oklahoma, the teams are called the "Sooners." If you want a CHERRY on top-research why they are called the "SOONERS"...

[@LongshotRecordsTV]

Absolutely a bad idea! Bad Andy, Bad! I think that the judicial branch should have there own enforcement/compliance department. If the courts rule something and the executive, the legislature or the police just ignore the ruling there are no repercussions. But if a citizen disregards a court order we are further penalized.

It was a nightmare. I agree. We are a better nation for having nations peacefully within our borders,(I am aware of the continued abuses to the sovereignty of native American laws by visiting Americans especially.) The rest of us have to ensure that those who've helped and continue to help us, and they have, continue to walk with us through history. To lose the native American culture is to kill a piece of humanity itself, a self inflicted wound that would bleed forever.

This is one reason I think of Andrew Jackson as one of our worst Presidents ever. He forcibly removed the Native American tribes in the Southeast from their lands to Oklahoma. I have a book about the Trail Of Tears that goes into some gruesome detail about what happened. Some of the U.S. soldiers that were deployed to relocate the Cherokee, etc... to their new "homes" would even keep the skins of those they shot and killed as "badges" which just goes to show their brutality. Seriously, Andrew Jackson has no business being revered in American history. I would believe you have the same opinion.

The Cherokee ultimately were more fortunate than other tribes, but you shouldn't discount the fact they were kicked out of their homes despite assimilating to the local population and the fact that they marched like cattle, not given proper support or supplies, across the country in the middle of winter to a foreign land. Thankfully that new land ended up being somewhat similar to their own land. Your points just come across as red herrings.

Pretty sure after the Civil War, the Cherokee were forced to recognize freed slaves and their descendants as members of the tribe. There you go, reparations.

Love the video, but technically Butler and Wooster can't get 4 yrs labor because it goes against Amendment 7 or 8. (Sorry I get a little confused when learning about the Bill of Right)

[@damianbrown6268]

I think it does, I'm not 100% sure

Justice Marshall made his ruling, now let him enforce it.

[@aaronbradley3232]

So could I start or when you get your cult going, people refer to forget what video people can refer to his most recent video as of this posting on January 9th 2019 for more on that. So citing this Supreme Court decision can we just like make our own Nation in the middle of Kansas or can I just found a nation outside of Philadelphia tonight?

I think that all Americans should live within in the same Country have the same Rights and follow the same laws

[@happynotredamefan3736]

Didn’t mr beat say the Supreme Court said they aren’t Americans and their own country

[@societysbasement5369]

I love you, man. just discovered this gem of a video... you know how I feel about this topic. let's do more to make reparations to the people who lived here on Turtle Island FIRST!

[@bryonwatkins1432]

NO, it was not a good idea!!!! It was NOT the land of the United States!!!!

[@GraveTender333]

If one for a spell. removes the horse blinders off. A much bigger Mural can be seen. Take a look into the Dates, The Players, all Native and Indigenious people. This includes the: Kanaka Maoli. The UN recognized Sovereign Hawaiian Nation. For example. And guess who is next inline. To have their rights, stripped away. If you no: OBEY

Georgia: A history of racism and denial. The more I learn about the south, the more I support the Cascadia separation.

Do wisconsin vs minnesota

[@iffyattorney4232]

As a white looking meber of the Cherokee Nation and living in the Cherokee nation my whole life I can say that the indapendent law thing is some bullshit. Yet we do get some bennifets in healthcare and othert things, Obviosly casino's as well... but ive only lost money and have never seen any profits come back to me, any community or any other cherokee that could really use a little cash... Just saying.

[@ulyssessphoenix2745]

The territory of the Cherokee Nation brings in billions of dollars of tourism and mining. If the Indians had control over that they would be a pretty rich Nation.

[@LeonNikkidude]

The Cherokees really proved the govt.Its so sad!
