Just skimming Wikipedia :

"Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and the Lewis and Clark Expedition."

"Thomas Jefferson" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson

"In addition to granting Florida to the United States, the [Adams-Onís ] treaty settled a boundary dispute along the Sabine River in Texas and firmly established the boundary of U.S. territory to the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean."

"Adams-Onís Treaty" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams-Onis_Treaty

"In the nineteenth century, the incessant Westward expansion of the United States incrementally compelled large numbers of Native Americans to resettle farther west, often by force, almost always reluctantly. Under President Andrew Jackson, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the President to conduct treaties to exchange Native American land east of the Mississippi River for lands west of the river. As many as 100,000 Native Americans eventually relocated in the West as a result of this Indian Removal policy. In theory, relocation was supposed to be voluntary (and many Native Americans did remain in the East), but in practice great pressure was put on Native American leaders to sign removal treaties. Arguably the most egregious violation of the stated intention of the removal policy was the Treaty of New Echota, which was signed by a dissident faction of Cherokees, but not the elected leadership. The treaty was brutally enforced by President Martin Van Buren, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated four thousand Cherokees on the Trail of Tears."

"The explicit policy of Indian Removal forced or coerced the relocation of major Native American groups in both the Southeast and the Northeast United States, resulting directly and indirectly in the deaths of tens of thousands. The subsequent process of assimilations was no less devastating to Native American peoples. Tribes were generally located to reservations on which they could more easily be separated from traditional life and pushed into European-American society. Some Southern states additionally enacted laws in the 19th century forbidding non-Indian settlement on Indian lands, intending to prevent sympathetic white missionaries from aiding the scattered Indian resistance."

"At one point, President Jackson told people to kill as many Bison as possible in order to cut out the Plains Indian's main source of food. At one point in time there was less that 500 bison left in the Great Plains."
