_"At least 26 enslaved people died on the Tennessee plantation of President Andrew Jackson, the seventh US president, between 1804 and the end of the Civil War in 1865._

_Nobody knew where they were buried. But on Wednesday, the Andrew Jackson Foundation announced a discovery: They believe they have found the slave cemetery at The Hermitage, the home of America's seventh president."_
