Which like everything else, America got through it and came out stronger.

It wasn't our fault that people died. We were just trying to get more land, not trying to kill everyone in the process.

We didn't force them to give us their land, we offered to buy it from them and they declined. We backed off, and then when they saw some of our troops by the border, they attacked.

With the newly acquired land, more Americans were able to have jobs and more land.

Just because something bad in your opinion happens, doesn't mean it's the President's fault. He's just the scapegoat people use. Mexico started the war with us, not the other way around.

We didn't almost get in a war with Britain over land. We compromised with them.

Gaining land was good for us because we could worry less about invasions from countries with territories around us.

The war wasn't Polk's fault. Whenever something bad happens, people blame the president at the time. Mexico started the war, not Polk.

The United States didn't steal land, we either bought it or compromised.

The Louisiana Purchase nearly doubled the size of America, so it was also very good for us.

Manifest Destiny was a good thing because it got the US a lot more land and more opportunities for everyone.

Getting rid of National Debt is close to impossible. Jackson lessened the debt a bit until the end up his presidency, and the debt came back in full force causing the nation to go into depression

He wasn't trying to give them a home they could be proud of. They already had one, and were living on it peacefully until Jackson dismissed the court ruling and forced them to go somewhere else just because he wanted their land.

He didn't support the southerners when he passed the tariff of abominations. That harmed them the most. AND he wouldn't let states nullify it. Doesn't seem like he supported the southerners vote to me.

We could've got land from somewhere else. The Indians weren't harming us. There was plenty more land out there that we could've got.

The debt wouldn't have come back as fast if he would've kept the National Bank.

Jackson didn't double the size of the US. The Louisiana Purchase did and that was before Jackson became the President.

People were saying that he didn't mean to harm the Indians. If that was true, he wouldn't have forced them to walk hundreds of miles in the winter.

Jackson clearly went against the ruling of the Supreme Court and did what he wanted. It wasn't a dire need to have the exact land that the Indians were on and had been on for a while. He could've simply got more land from another part of the continent.

They were already on their own land. He could've just left them on their land which they considered sacred. Jackson could've got land from somewhere else. He didn't HAVE to move the Indians.

The only reason people called him a war hero was because he defeated the British ONE time in a battle that shouldn't have even happened.

There was a lot more land out there. He took the Indians' land when he could've just let them stay in their home in peace. He didn't have to make them move just because they were an inconvenience to him.

Just because he was a hard worker doesn't mean he should be on the $20 bill.

Yes but the land he got was taken from the Indians. He ignored the Supreme Court's ruling and forced them out so he could have the land.
