Remembering and honoring the service men and women who died protecting their country today and everyday. #MemorialDay

#OnThisDay, May 28th, 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. The federal government began to make treaties exchanging Native American land east of the Mississippi River for lands in the territories west of the river. The government was to compensate the relocated peoples for the land. However, this did not always happen.
During his two terms in office, Jackson signed more than 60 land cession treaties, resulting in the relocation of nearly 50,000 American Indians.
This “Map Showing the Lands assigned to Emigrant Indians West of Arkansas & Missouri” shows the approximate boundaries of the tribes relocated to the new Indian Territory west of the Mississippi by 1836

#TheHermitage offers an exclusive tour that goes deeper into Jackson and his home. Our own President and CEO, Howard J. Kittell, leads the Commander In Chief Tour, which gives visitors a glimpse of the grounds, mansion, garden and even the tomb where both Andrew and Rachel Jackson are buried.
