I think I can see why some might view him as a murderer considering that the indians of the South East were removed from their land and dispossesed of that land and forcibly moved West of the Mississippi resulting in the deaths of 5,000 of them on the "trail of tears." But having said that, at least the land west of the Mississippi wasn't so horrible. Some of that land that indians live on further west is hardly fit for rattlesnakes and scorpions.
