The Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears were Andrew Jackson’s campaigns to force at least 46,000 Cherokees, Choctaws, Muscogee-Creeks, Chickasaws, and Seminoles off their ancestral lands. Jackson pursued his “Indian Removal” policies specifically so that the stolen lands could be used to expand cotton farming and slavery. That his face is on the 20 dollar bill is grotesque. Replace it with that of Harriet Tubman, great lady of the Underground Railroad.
