So. Doing research for a project and found Andrew Jackson believed an aryan race predating Native Americans ruled the American continent before being overthrown, thus justifying their genocide and giving the impetus to Manifest Destiny.

Fun. Sunday.
Jackson, in his State of the Nation in 1830 defends his removal of Native Americans by referring to an ancient race they supposedly overthrew, thus giving white Americans claim to the rest of the continent.
I'm finding so much in my research for this project that is just devastating and this one is...it's up there.
