Background
This brings me to a topic that is "fully loaded": Andrew Jackson and the American Indian. Indeed it is a powerful layer in American History. And it needs to be told in a way that kids can think about what happened and the ideas that drove the events. What was the role of the policies of the United States Federal Government ? What were the effects of those policies on Indian people who had to vacate their lands in order to make way for Manifest Destiny? What events shaped a young boy who would grow up to be the president that would open the West for White settlement? Were his ideas and actions radically different from other men of his time?
