if they have to make up 50 different things to attack a trait, but they lose 10% each time, they know that they have 10 different intersectional attacks on one target ultimately it'll be a trend down. --Stephen Coughlin

Everything we’ve been told and taught in school has been a lie

If you grew up in the United States in the past 50 years, then you know about the Trail of Tears. It's one of those stories that is beaten into our collective consciousness. Starting in grade school we're taught in no uncertain terms that Native Americans were forcibly removed from there ancestral lands by the US government between 1830 and 1850 and that thousands of natives died in the process. The government did this so that white men could seize Indian land and the valuable resources that it sat on. In case you miss that lesson in the classroom, you might have caught it in the 2006 documentary narrated by James Earl Jones, or the sprawling National Park with signs that the Indians did not want to leave, or the endless amount of online propaganda about it. Much of what they're saying is a myth. As it turns out, none of the Cherokee Indians who travel the Trail of Tears had ever heard of the Trail of Tears. That's because from 1830 to 1850 almost no one used the phrase. The term was popularized a full 7 decades after the Cherokees moved to Oklahoma and even then it wasn't truly household name. That didn't happen until the 1960s more than a century after it took place. But it isn't just the name that's at issue here, it's the details that are so often omitted from the actual story.
1:19. The story begins in 1830 when President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. The law did not authorize the US government to forcibly remove them, instead the law authorized the president to negotiate legally binding treaties with the various tribes in which those tribes would be awarded compensation and a new territory west of the Mississippi in exchange for voluntarily vacating the territory that they currently lived on. In accordance with that law many Indian tribes agreed to terms to relocate. The first major treaty was the Treaty of New Echota in 1835. In school this treaty is presented as a fraudulent agreement in which a tiny number of Cherokees signed away all Cherokee lands in the Southeast allowing the US government the Cherokee to Oklahoma salting the deaths of 4,000 Indians. Well, every aspect of that narrative is false. The first lie is that 4000 Indians died that figure comes from a letter written by Dr elizer Butler a member of the American Board of the American Board of Commissioners for foreign missions
