The Rothschild Dynasty: were they actively involved in the forceful removal of 16,000 Native Americans?

In May 1830, the Indian Removal Act was signed into law by Andrew Jackson. This chain of events began a trail of terror resulting in a series of human exterminations. In a time period of just two short months, over 16,000 Native Americans living east of the Mississippi River were removed from their homes and forced to hike through Tennessee and Kentucky, past Illinois and Missouri, ending up re-settling in Oklahoma. Some however, took up to four months to complete the trek, according to the National Geographic. Many fell ill to the harsh weather and treatment conditions that befell upon them along the way. A majority of Cherokee tribes, and an overall number of other tribes making up a population of Natives in the east struggled to make the trek alive.

Americans justified this betrayal of treaty by calling it at the time an act of “relocation.” Relocation or not, an estimated 2,000-6,000 Native Americans perished during this deceitful trek. Whether President Andrew Jackson’s intent was to relocate these natives or exterminate them, the Cherokee people and other eastern tribes in the area lost lineages of families in a short space of under a year.

Why was there even a need for relocation in the first place? 
Well, there was a high demandfor gold in the mid 1800s, and rumours were that the Gold Rush was booming around the regions of Georgia at the time. Native American lands and long-time tribal grounds, however, either blocked passages to these gold caves or were smack in the middle of all the natural wealth. Men like Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, a man known for power, militia intelligence, and an eye for wealth, could not have gotten access to those lands without brutal force. While some tribes went in peace (those mostly located in the west) and adapted to the wishes of the settlers, other tribes decided to retaliate in an act of war.

The first documented evidence of the Rothschild family being involved financially withAmerica came in the late 1820s and early 1830s. The gold rush may be a plausible explanation for the sudden Rothschild interest in the country, as well as for the need to evacuate 16,000 Native Americans in a gold-infested area. According to Snopes.com, the Rothschild family currently own approximately 80% of the world’s total wealth, and have a net worth of around $500 trillion. They have also been frequently associated with financing wars, linked to theories about the Illuminati, the New World Order, and other money groups that have a hand in the world’s governments. There is no secret that the Rothschild family single handedly controls the majority of the world’s powers and wealth. The law records of Andrew Jackson's presidency, according to Veteran's Today, illustrate a magnificent influence and control of Rothschild wealth and power in the American economy as early as the late 1780s but it was not until a little later that the family name became renowned in America.

According to the Washington Post, the U.S. Treasury is the department that decides who is depicted on American currency. For a while, Andrew Jackson was the face of the $20 bill. Many have questioned the treasury’s intent for attributing such a face to American identity, yet this may again be directed related to Rothschild’s influence with the country, as they entered on President Andrew Jackson’s veto on the renewal of the licence for the “Bank of the United States” in 1983, according to BibleBelievers.org.

With this potential sense of power and influence in America, the Trail of Tears paved the way for the public’s gold rush, which occurred from 1848 to 1855. However, there may be evidence that the Rothschild involvement during the time of these historic events could explain the need for such an excavation. Of course, the natives were not interested in such economic trades, and could not be bought with money. They were concerned with culture and way of life.

Around the time that sparked the dreadful Trail of Tears event, as well as the need for gold, international investments began from overseas powers. Though, too much has been covered up by power and money, and questions may never truthfully become answered, but perhaps these connections have controlled the direction of society in some way. Laws were broken and promises were violated, and native American’s history has found the standard it has within modern politics that ranks their people as minorities of a growing technological world. According to History.com, before any removal act was signed by Andrew Jackson, even though treaties were signed, invaders still brutally went into encampments and brutally ambushed and murdered families for territory.

The Trail of Tears is a famous Native American tragedy nicknamed so by the Cherokee people, due to its “devastating effects” on those whom lost their families and loved-ones, according to PBS.org. The gruesome trail stretched beyond 1,000 kilometres long, and even though there were once photographs depicted of the journey, government officials ordered all visual accounts to be destroyed.

President Andrew Jackson at the time came into office in 1829, and according to The Hermitage, was known to be a military man, somebody to be smart with money. He was tough, and knew how to conquer an enemy. His strong presence in America’s history demonstrates his cruel gift for war, where no ordinary man could have matched his succession in forcibly pressing 16,000 Natives out of their homes to trek across a continent.

“Government officials forced this [trek] upon the Natives [Americans]” said Bruce Hicks, History professor at the University of the Cumberlands, “many died of starvation or exhaustion.”

Unfortunately, war materializes everywhere, destruction occurs on all continents, and thievery of land has become a common feature in heroic war history. The world just so happens to be cruel in times of possession and war, from the roman conquests, to the Viking raids, conquering territory is just a part of human dominance and civilization. However, the issue that Native Americans are facing today is a different sort of destruction. According to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Native American tribes today are facing poverty, social challenges, extreme drug issues within their communities, and a growing number of unemployment. Contrary to their white neighbours, the Native American society parallels the likes of black history and Latin-American difficulties facing immigration and citizenship today, and unlike their white neighbours, they are victim to biases and racial discrimination throughout their own homeland.

The African American’s past could neither escape white America’s bigotry; as white men took black people as slaves. Nor were they able to run from racial injustice for at least some time after that either, with the civil rights movement and much of the racial segregation that occurred in the nation’s past. Women, too, have barely surfaced the water to take a breath in the race of inequality in the eyes of society. Perhaps they have been purposely separated, but Native American injustice is hardly heard on the news, there is much talk about minorities have blacks, Asians, Latin-Americans, and even old people. The public have accepted this injustice as the natives themselves have bent over and taken the toll of how history has stepped on their homeland.

In a one-on-one interview, Hicks talks about how modern day America still experiences a massive divide of inequality between Modern-American living and Native American living, within a reservation.

“Many of these reservations are self-governed, you can enter them, but they do not receive much help from the outside government,” said Hicks, “that’s why you see many of them opening up casinos now to compensate for their small economy.”

Hicks believes modern America has pushed native living to the curb. Because the tribes have wanted extreme independence from the current government, they now struggle to keep up with the growing demands of the technological world.

Native Americans choose to live on reservations to preserve their culture and unique lifestyle “Conditions in these tribal lands are poor, because they are a separate economy to the rest of America,” said Hicks. By choosing to preserve culture and lifestyle, could some native Americans be sacrificing their equality?

According to USA.gov, the economy is federally run and funded, therefore natives who choose to be separated and live on lands granted by the U.S. government to various tribes, have a right to become separated. The only problem with this separation results in a lack of funding, support, and therefore a lack of standard quality living conditions for native Americans.

As of today, the unemployment rate for native Americans is over 10 percent and according to ThinkProgress.org, that number has been steady for the last nine years. If separation and segregation continue to persist, then these numbers will never rise.

“I wonder what will become of their fate if [Native Americans] continue to be separated from society in poor quality reservations,” said Hicks. According to MPR news, Native Americans in low income reservations are currently confronting a water quality problem.

The problem is nobody ever writes about Native American issues in the news, or even reports on livelihood of the original settlers of this country. Just because inequality was carried out in the past, does not mean that separation and injustice should continue to prosper in a country that constitutes freedom for all. More should be done to combat the issue of segregating Natives, and more must be done on their part to contribute their culture to society, so they too can be incorporated within the integration a new America.
