In 1830, Andrew Jackson, as president, refused to heed a Supreme Court order regarding the removal of Native Americans from Georgia.
Jackson's refusal gave us the Trail of Tears.
Jackson remained popular.
The similarity: Both defiances are deeply racist.
The difference: In 1830 only white men could vote.
