♪ Can you discover what's already there
By definition you become aware
The greatest country in the history of man
Was here long before the colonies began
Ownership of a land, a lie
Soldiers marched and children died
Small pox blankets for their heads
Jackson killed the children dead
If Hitler was on the 20 dollar bill
How would the Jews feel? ♪

Manifest Destiny was taught to me in my youth with the indigenous people of these lands resisting progress.
The Native Americans were written to look like they were the enemy and not the invaders.

Denying the Holocaust in Germany is illegal and in school. The children have to visit the death camps.

President Andrew Jackson's Case for the Removal Act
First Annual Message to Congress, 8th of December, 1830
First Annual Message to Congress, 8th of December, 1830
"It will relieve the whole State of Mississippi and the western part of Alabama of Indian occupancy, and enable those States to advance rapidly in population, wealth, and power. It will separate the Indians from immediate contact with settlements of whites; free them from the power of the States; enable them to pursue happiness in their own way and under their own rude institutions; will retard the progress of decay, which is lessening their numbers, and perhaps cause them gradually, under the protection of the Government and through the influence of good counsels, to cast off their savage habits and become an interesting, civilized, and Christian community."
"Toward the aborigines of the country no one can indulge a more friendly feeling than myself, or would go further in attempting to reclaim them from their wandering habits and make them a happy, prosperous people."
The Indian Removal Act of 1830
An Act to provide for an exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the states or territories, and for their removal west of the river Mississippi.
