The #CherokeeRemoval put under way in 1838 on #ThisDayInHistory was illegal but #DonaldTrump's hero #AndrewJackson didn't let the law get in the way of his little #genocide. ~17,000 faced #ConcentrationCamps and expulsion. 3,500 died on the #TrailOfTears to what became #Oklahoma.

The #CherokeeRemoval began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1838 with orders given to them by Gen. #WinfieldScott to prepare for expulsion or death. The #EthnicCleansing was blatantly illegal but that vicious shit-stain #AndrewJackson got away with #genocide and is still on US currency.
