I don’t think you have the context. President Andrew Jackson violated a Supreme Court ruling to basically commit a genocide and expulsion of the Cherokee from land that was theirs by treaty.

Yes, the association of Jackson is obvious. Why do you think that genocide was not the context of my comment?
Well would you use a song about the “Chancellors of Germany” to advertise the Maccabees’ next game?
You probably would/could have ads for Mercedes or VW, and their history could lead to awkwardness, particularly if old photos of their cars were used.
