Non-musical history for today: 1830 – U.S. President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, denying Native Americans their land rights and forcibly relocating them. During the presidency of Jackson (1829–1837) and his successor, Martin Van Buren (1837–1841), more than 60,000 American Indians from at least 18 tribes were forced to move west of the Mississippi River, where they were “allocated” new lands, mostly in Oklahoma, but also in Nebraska and Kansas. I have allocated in quotes because we know they weren’t allocated anything. They were put onto reservations, almost the same as prison camps. Many Native Americans still live in those today.
