One thing good about this world and the events going on within it is that, there is "history". Yes, history keeps the memory alive, memories of past events, of men and their actions. History brings to mind this slave owner, who was president from 1829 to 1837. Of the man who signed the Indian Removal Act, who deported west of the Mississippi, all the Indians living east of the great river.
Yes, history is simply typical of "the book will be opened, and another book will be opened. And anyone whose name is not found in the book of life, shall be ......"
History brings to mind the brutal expulsion of Native Americans from their ancestral lands which resulted in the deaths of thousands of them lost of primitive cultures and valuables that no amount of restitution by the invaders in the past and modern times can be able to appease.
President Trump in his cavalier fashion, had Jackson's portrait hung in the oval office as soon as he was elected, denounced the demonstrators "for the shameful vandalism of the magnificent statue of Andrew Jackson "before threatening them with 10 years in prison under the law on the preservation of monuments honoring soldiers".

The current racial protests have forced the United States to confront the systemic racism that taints its past and that still defiles its present. This fact also involves a little-known, and even more rarely mentioned, aspect of American history that concerns the 'Amerindians' who owned slaves, a reality that continues today.
On August 30, 2017, a federal court sided with the Cherokee Freedmen - the descendants of Afro-indigenous slaves who were demanding the restoration of their tribal citizenship that had been taken away from them. Sadly, the federal court decided in its wisdom that the Freedmen, black or mestizo, were Cherokees.
Before that, in 2011, the second-largest Indian tribe in America had deprived a majority of Afro-Indians of their tribal affiliation. Some 2,800 Freedmen were no longer eligible for tribal benefits and could no longer participate in tribal elections because their Cherokee citizenship had been revoked because of their race.
The five tribes of the southeastern United States (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole) had been encouraged to practice slavery "by the whites who considered that their participation in the enslavement of the blacks was going to "civilize them". This is why they had been called "the five civilized tribes". The Cherokees were the Aboriginals who had best assimilated the slave culture of the whites of the South.
History has it that in 1835 or thereabout, the Cherokee nation owned 1600 black slaves. The Cherokees and the other so-called “civilized tribes” had integrated themselves into the economy based on the culture of cotton which depended on slave labor. However, at the start of the Civil War, these five tribes allied with the Confederate forces for the mere fact that they resented the federal government for having driven them east of the Mississippi.
The deportation was known as the "Trial of Tears".
The expelled tribes had brought their slaves with them. In total, the deportation cost the lives of more than 11,000 Indians, including 2,000 to 4,000 Cherokees. Of the 4,500 to 5,000 blacks who made up the slave class in the new Indian territory in 1839, the vast majority were mixed.
The federal policy of expulsion of the Indians was not simply a hateful impulse from Andrew Jackson, but a campaign approved by Congress and by the white population which continued under several administrations.
It was pretty glaring at the time that what motivated Jackson's decision was nothing, but the interest of the white slave traders who wanted to seize Indian lands. And true to it, white profiteers immediately seized those vast and fertile lands.
Accordingly, history has it that, in 1863, shortly after the proclamation of the emancipation of the "Blacks of Lincoln", when it appears that the war was turning to the advantage of the Union forces, the Cherokees, who hitherto were lording it over their slaves, saw fit but reluctantly proclaimed "the immediate emancipation" of all their human slaves. The sad truth, however, is the discrimination against the Freedmen Cherokees has continued to the present day. The "Black of Lincoln" may have been emancipated close to some 200 years ago, but it is clearly visible in the air that all is not right, for how long this trend will continue, only nature has the answer to that.
