South Dakota is famously home to Mount Rushmore, but it's also been making room for a second colossal mountain carving that, when finished, will dwarf the four presidents. Who is being carved this time? |

I waited a while to allow someone else to answer but it did not happen. So I will put forth the Crazy Horse Monument as the answer. I visited this location over 50 years ago and it is still a work in progress. |

Between 1830 and 1850, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people (including mixed-race and black slaves who lived among them) were forcibly removed from their traditional lands in the Southeastern United States, and relocated farther west. Those Native Americans who were relocated were forced to march to their destinations by state and local militias. The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush. Approximately 2,000–8,000 of the 16,543 relocated Cherokee perished along the way.
Question: Which US President is most closely associated with the "Trail of Tears" relocation of these five tribes? |

He lived at the the same time as Andrew Jackson, and was elected governor of the state of Tennessee and later elected as governor of Texas. Who was he? |
