No. What the United States government did to Native Americans was as evil as ANYTHING Hitler did to the Jews.

No. The death of so many people just so that someone could take their land to sell cannot be justified. Besides that Jackson defied the Supreme Court to evict the Cherokee. The land was granted to the Cherokee through many treaties and they were considered "civilized" at that time.

The trail of tears is one of the mos horrifying things the US government has ever done, and I think that if we let them they will continue to do the same thing in Iraq. Humans are to be free and not tamed by any person, we are not animals . So please stop acting like animals, we are God's children, no matter the color or legal status.

No. It's not possible to justify the forced migration and subsequent near-annihilation of a people just because we put their land to "good use."
That stuff was downright evil but the government got away with it because the natives were labeled as savages and heathens; back-in-the-day terrorists if you will.

No. It was an atrocity. Don't blame me because:
1) I wasn't alive then.
2) My ancestors weren't even in this country then.

No, of course not! Amazing what the US has done in the supposedly, "land of the free".

Reminds us of what is capable of happening, even here.
