"Jackson's Trail of Murder"

This is Andrew Jackson who appears on the $20 bill. Andrew Jackson was elected president of the United States in 1828, He earned his fame as a "Indian fighter" in the US army. Behind their accusations lay the fact that Jackson, unlike previous Presidents, did not defer to Congress in policy-making butused his power of the veto and his party leadership to assume command. He ignored the judgement of the Supreme Court and forced the removal of thousands of Cherokees during the infamous trail of tears. Thousands suffered and died. If there ever was a president who should have been impeached it was him. ANDREW JACKSON Whose life was saved by the Cherokee at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, sent 4,000 Cherokee children, women, and men to their deaths. Is this how you show gradatude for your life? It is a disgrace to our nation that he should appear on our currency.

WE DEMAND THIS MAN WHO PUBLICLY CONFESSED HIS CONTEMPT FOR THE LAW BE TRIED FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, THE DEATH OF CHEROKEE CHILDREN

His genocide of 4,000 Cherokee is honored by the
United States on the $20 bill THE BLOOD MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES

The result of this man's failure as chief executive to enforce the law was 4,000 Cherokee children, women and men who died when they were driven like cattle to Oklahoma. This was done by US troops under the direction of General Winfield Scott at the direction of President Andrew Jackson. This is JACKSON'S TRAIL OF MURDER

"I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the
stockades. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west....On the morning of November the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on March the 26th 1839, the sufferings of the Cherokees were awful. The trail of the exiles was a trail of death. They had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire. And I have known as many as twenty-two of them to die in one night of pneumonia due to ill treatment, cold and exposure..."

WE DEMAND THIS MAN WHO OPENLY VIOLATED THE LAW
BE TRIED FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

HE WILL BE KNOWN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS FOR HIS MURDER OF CHEROKEE CHILDREN

IF THIS KILLING HAD HAPPENED TO ANY GROUP OF
CHRISTIANS IN THE UNITED STATES WOULD
YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

WOULD THOSE 4,000 DEAD WHITE CHRISTIANS BE MASCOTS TODAY?

WOULD THE MEN WHO SHOULD HAVE STOPPED IT
HAVE HIS PICTURE ON YOUR MONEY?

WHY IS,Andrew Jackson,THE MAN WHO SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THIS MASS DEATH HONORED
WITHIN THE SCHOOL HISTORY BOOKS OF AMERICA?

BY HAVING JACKSON GLORIFIED IN HISTORY THE
UNITED STATES DECLARES THAT IT IS HONORABLE
TO HATE A REDSKIN.

THE HISTORY BOOKS DO NOT SPEAK WELL OF ADOLF HITLER, LIKEWISE, WE ARE DEMANDING THAT ANDREW JACKSON'S NAME BE EXPLAINED AS
THE MAN WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE DEATH OF 4,000 CHEROKEE

WHO IS AMERICA TEACHING TO COMMIT THE NEXT ATROCITIES BY NEGLECTING THE LESSONS OF HISTORY?

STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COME TO AMERICA TO GET AN EDUCATION
WHAT WILL THEY TELL THEIR COUNTRYMEN ABOUT AMERICAN RACISM AND BIGOTRY?

We the undersigned hereby petition the government of the United States, asking that the image of the criminal Andrew Jackson be removed from our currency.

I have seen that many of my Cherokee brothers and sisters feel that they have lost their heritage, culture and religion. My purpose in creating this web page is to offer new hope and pride in being a Cherokee Indian. Never surrender! May the peaceful, loving, healing Divine light of the Great Spirit be yours for all of your days.

There are very few full blooded Cherokees alive today,because of Andrew Jackson. I am Lucky and very proud to be full blooded. As my son LoneStar and WildT,has enough blood to legally qualify as Cherokees.As they do Apache.May daughtar Crying Flower has enough to be Cherokee. My family are proud and we try to up hold all the ways of the Cherokee.We smoke the sacred peace pipe of our ancestors, and we seek the Great Spirit in our meditations. We are all one in the eyes of the Great Spirit.We also try to up hold the ways of the Apache.We speak both Cherokee and Apache languages in our home.

Seal of the Cherokee Nation

The Cherokee seal was designed to embrace the early government structure,and the enternal endurance of the Cherokee Indians.It was adopted by Act of the Cherokee National Council, and approved in 1871.The seven-pointed star synbolizes:(1).The seven age old clans of the Cherokee:(2).The seven characters of Sequoyah's syllabary,meaning;Cherokee Nation. (The Cherokee characters are phonetically pronounced Tsa-la-gi-hi A-yi-li).The wreath of oak leaves symbolizes the scared fire which,from time immemorial,the Cherokee kept burning in their land.Oak was the wood traditionally burned,diffrent species of oak having ever been indigenous to Cherokee country,both in North Carolina and Georgia as well as in the Indian Territory to which the Cherokeesremoved in the early 1800's...The margin wording proclaims the authority of the seal in both English and the Cherokee languages, the records that date (1839) of the adoption of the Constitution of the Cherokee Nation West...This seal was imprinted on all documents until the dissolution of the Cherokee Nation at Oklahoma Statehood.
