Despite the North's greater population, however, the South had an army almost equal in size during the first year of the war. The North had an enormous industrial advantage as well. At the beginning of the war, the Confederacy had only one-ninth the industrial capacity of the Union. But that statistic was misleading
They both depended on the rivers. And human sacrifice XD. <span />
Explanation:
folks showed up . . . just to watch her work.
In 1830, Jackson ignored a Supreme Court ruling to sign into law the Indian Removal Act, forcing native people to lands in the West, away from their homes east of the Mississippi river.
The reason: Gold.
Gold had been found on Cherokee land, and Jackson wanted it. The president’s excuse for removal – claiming the Cherokees had violated the constitution by declaring their own state without approval – was a smokescreen.
The native Americans were eventually forced to march 800 miles west. From the 47,000 southeastern Indians that were uprooted, it is estimated that 1 in 4 died from either exhaustion or starvation on what is now called The Trail of Tears. Jackson acquired more than one hundred million acres of land.
The Indian Removal Act was genocide.
Andrew Jackson should not be on the $20 bill I have many more reason but that’s the biggest.
