Yes it's history and the social norms were different in his era. As humans it is important to improve on the progression of society but also important to recognize that our founders and forefathers lived in different times. Culture is a huge part of how one's political and ideological development evolves. He was extremely aggressive but served our country well.

People in his time and culture realized what he did to the Native Americans was wrong, and he basically gave them the finger.

That's true but he did alot of other things that were beneficial to our nation. It's easy to dwell on the negative of history but history is just that; our past.

what is your opinion on this matter?

That times were different back then and society continues to change. While change is not always good, there's nothing wrong with saying "that's how things were then" as long as we work to better things.
