It’s weird to start the story with what a friend Jackson was, and then to slowly ease into the violent, deadly mass atrocities Jackson oversaw. No friend would be capable of that.

[Blodreina]

This dude legit trying to minimize the evil act

[angelaorange]

No just Jackson was no friend to the native tribes.

[ronaldgaddis]

I can't get with this and Jackson was no friend

[montecarlostar]

Greed, racism and lack of compassion caused it

[patriciaroerig]

Jackson was a friend of the Native Americans?

[jolenecarlisle]

That is such BS! We Americans really think we are above all. Doing this was nothing short of Animalistic Behavior.

According to this I would think that with a friend like Jackson, who needs enemies. I hope children aren't believing this twisted fairytale.

Is this a joke?? It is disgusting and unforgivable you are trying to spread this very wrong information to children and present yourself as a teacher. You have no business around children and rewriting history isn't beneficial to anyone. Students need to learn about the past so they don't repeat it..Shame on you!!

This is the most ridiculous take I’ve seen in this so far. A white washed version to say the absolute LEAST.
