Missouri officials adding plaques to Andrew Jackson statues noting he owned slaves, supported Trail of Tears

Officials in Missouri have approved new plaques that will be affixed to statues of Andrew Jackson noting that the former president owned slaves and supported removing Native Americans from their home territories.

Members of the legislature in Jackson County, which was named after the president, passed the resolution with a 6-2 vote on Monday, with one official abstaining.

The measure approves language to be included on statues of Jackson located outside the Jackson County Courthouse in Kansas City, Mo., and the Historic Truman Courthouse in Independence, Mo.

Isn't he the one the Democrats have long named their annual dinners after? Never mind.
