My Nashville Trip State Capitol and Museum

Hello Readers, When we visited Nashville we went to the State Capitol building. Did you know that people are buried inside the walls of the building? The tour guide told us that people are buried inside the walls of the building. We were sitting in that room at that time and he went over there to show us where it was. He touched the wall and it was creepy to me because he went over there and touched the and I am like... uh. Isn't this place haunted? After that he showed us the rest of the capitol building. We also went to the Capitol Museum, was a cool place to visit in Nashville. We visited the room where they decide where the laws are made. We looked inside the room because it was blocked off by red ropes. I had a lot of fun on this field trip!

Hello Readers, We went to Nashville, TN on a field trip. We visited the home of Andrew Jackson, our 7 th president serving two terms from 1829 to 1937. Andrew Jackson: born on March 15, 1767 in Waxhow , South Carolina. He became a lawyer. He was the first man to be elected from Tennessee to the House of Representatives, and in 1797 served a year in the U.S. Senate before resigning and becoming a Tennessee Supreme Court Judge. He built a large mansion in Nashville, TN known as the “Hermitage.” He is widely remembered for killing a man during a duel while defending his wife’s honor. His nickname was “Old Hickory” due to his rough and tough behavior. One of the most controversial times of his presidency was his policy regarding American Indians. He was a leading advocate of a policy known as” Indian Removal”, signing the Indian Removal Act into law in 1830. This led to the deaths of over 4000 Cherokee Indians as they suffered hardships on the “Trial of Tears”
