Just wondering, because this seems to be one part of history that is often overlooked on this site. It is in my opinion the USAs darkest hour in regard to right and wrong, standing up for liberty and justice, ect.

But suppose Congress and the Supreme Court had enough balls to challenge Andrew Jackson (who i would have liked so much more as a historical figure if not for this) and stand up for what was right by law. Or if Jackson recalled that much of his success as a military leader (see Battle of New Orleans and Invasion of Florida) was helped by the native americans, notably the Cherokee, Creek, and Choktaw.

What would happen, do you all think, if the Indian Removal Act never passed? How would the demographics of the South and the history of the United States as a nation? Thoughts?
