As part of President Andrew Jackson’s Indian removal policy, in 1838

considered one of the most wealthy and powerful countries in the world. The United States is associated with global reverence and respect; however, could a nation so great preserve indigenous societies continuously impeding the country’s potential growth without giving up on aspirations of success and expansion?

This has been a common argument for people who disagree with the celebration of Christopher Columbus.
