so, there was opposition to the indian removal. who was aligned in the opposition and how organized was it? >> the most fervent opposition is not to say there were a number of people who wanted to cut their losses and think this isn't just policy necessarily but they felt that in fact the tremendous pressure that they were on and the squatters that were moving in and the fact the state governments and federal governments were not detecting them in any way and were encouraging them to steal their land and property. given the fact that the best thing to do was to cut their losses but the vast majority of people. they have a deeper connection to the land and said their ancestors were buried here and they wanted to stay there. that was the most fervent opposition. but they did find allies among missionaries who lived among them and the church-based groups in the north. this was the single most controversial issue to come before the republic up to that date. and it prompted the first petition campaign to congress. there were thousands a

" he completely ignores the decision and the indian removal goes through. the most infamous episode in this removal was the trail of tears in 1838, 1839. 15,000 cherokee -- and next lecture, we will look a little more at the cherokee civilization. they made a strong effort to try to comply. it was not enough. 15,000 of them were moved

he fights the creek indians in 1814. fights the seminole indians in 1817. that in 1815 he earns his fame through the battle of new orleans. this spectacular victory against the british, even though you may remember the war was already over. that does not seem to matter. this elevates andrew jackson to celebrity status. that is indeed what jackson is -- a celebrity. he has some political experience, served about two years in the senate. that is all. he is also very wealthy. there is a plantation, the hermitage. the hermitage starts out in 1804, jackson has nine slaves. by the 1830's, he has well over 100 slaves, and slaves are very expensive. most common people cannot afford any at all. he has over 100, he is a very very wealthy man very well-to-do. jackson enters the senate in 1823. in 1824, he runs for the presidency, a four-way race between jackson, adams, william crawford and henry clay. jackson wins the popular vote 42%, jackson also wins the most electoral votes. but jackson does not win a majority of electoral votes. the contest goes to the house of r
