Even though the article mentions the “negatives” of Jackson, it’s purpose seems to be to point out the positive.

Nevertheless, I find it a bit comical that references to the trail of tears from someone in NO forgets to point out that a substantial portion of the french population in NO were forced migrants from Canada during the French and Indian War. They’re known as the “Acadian French”, whose plight was dramatized in the Longfellow poem “Evangeline”.

“They’re known as the “Acadian French”, whose plight was dramatized in the Longfellow poem “Evangeline”.”

Also in the classic tune “Acadian Driftwood”by The Band.
