→Genocide
::So now we have adopted "cultural genocide"? That would pretty much encompass the bulk of human history across all continents and time periods. Should we make mention of the genocide of the Hittites in that the quick downfall of their empire led to the end of their culture? Treating people poorly is wrong, but it's not genocide. Trying to kill them en masse is. I would recommend that with you knowledge that you help fill out the article. There is nothing on the Supreme Court Decision and Jackson's words when he decided to ignore it. That is certainly a huge part of the story.

:::You must have missed the "as well". The behavior I mentioned was ''in addition'' to killing these people, and belies the attitude the U.S. government had towards them at the time. You seem to be in denial, I guess I can't really help you see this. -[[User:DrSandstone|DrSandstone]] 10:31, 4 December 2008 (EST)

::::You have offered no evidence that the Trail of Tears was an attempt to wipe out the tribe. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 14:23, 4 December 2008 (EST)
: From the Conservapedia definition of genocide: "Genocide involves the calculated targeting and killing of a specific ethnic group, '''or any huge deliberate killing of civilians carried out as a consequence of government policy.'''" How does this not meet the standard that this site already agrees upon? --[[User:BStowe|BStowe]] 17:50, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:: And how do you feel the trail of tears has become a huge deliberate killing? Don't you think if the goal of the United States government was to kill them, that it could have? [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 14:23, 4 December 2008 (EST)
