America has many presidents who are still remembered with their legacies, but President Andrew Jackson’s presidency is a history of which the Native American will never forget. Jackson’s democracy was not in support for women to vote, and black men to join in armies. The people who paid the greatest price through his presidency were the Indian tribes, whom he forced to move from their land which belonged to their ancestors. Therefore, in 1800s all the five civilizer tribes are Choctaws, Creeks,

Education is really important for our country. If a hard working student is failing in any class, something should be changed at the school and/or class.

Kids might get distracted from their education if they wear clothes from their selection, because they would be more worried about their clothes and not their education.
