#1. Trail of Tears

Andrew Jackson, the first Democrat to occupy the White House, really hated Native American Indians. Whether you were Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, or Cherokee, Old Hickory was an equal opportunity hater. In order to make room for the massively expanding cotton market in the south, President Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830. This forced the existing Indian nations which resided in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, out of their homes in order to relocate 125,000 Indians to a section of land granted to them in Oklahoma. During the not so fun trip across the country, an estimated 4,000 people died in the process due to starvation and diseases such as Whooping Cough.
