But that is a judgment on 19th century America as a whole, not on one man. There is a danger in judging people who lived 200 years ago by the standards of today.

One cannot pick and choose what to judge from history. What was evil 200 years ago is evil today. Agreement was made and broken simply because the Cherokee, Seminole, others were not white. It's evil; and you're being an apologist.
