All I would like to say is thank you Jackson. What you did to those indians was great. They needed to move out of the way so we can move in. Beside we gave them some land

I am a human being. so what gives anyone the right to force me off my land and move me to some crappy dry dusty land that doesn't grow crops as well. Not only that but Jackson did it illegally. On top of that you killed off everyone in my family
