Hey Beau, thats some good research you did
I also agree with you . Andy Jackson was one of the biggest hypocrite's of the 1800's The Cherokee helped him win the war with the Creek indians who were supported by Spain .Then to reward them he gave their land to some people in N.Georgia ,who helped get him elected President. Like Davey said "I would sooner be honestly damned than hypocritically immortalized" Thats' in reference he told his olde friend (Andy Jackson) who abused his friendship to Davey. BTW did you hear what a Black Democrat in Okla is sueing the State of Okla for now ? He is complaining that the Cherokee Brave Confederate flag is flying on the Statehouse grounds . He goes on to say that he won't stand for a racist flag like that to remain flying on OKla State property . Isn't that a hoot him calling Cherokee Confederate Soldiers racist.When the only reason Okla is a state is that the Cherokee people lost their land after the War between the States ended and Washington needed more land to give away And the 5 tribes that made up what is now Okla fought for the CSA so they had there homes and land stolen again . Also if their Land had not been taken away after the end of the War between the States the state now known as Okla would have been named after Sequoyah insted he just has his name immortalized on an ancient pine tree in Calif called the Sequoia Redwood Pine and to this day giant Sequoia redwood trees in California soar to the sky in his memory.Hope you all are doing well and the summer heat isn't as bad for you as it is here in SE Georgia
BTW did you know until 1980 it was illegal for a person of Cherokee decent to come to Georgia with out written permission? that old law was finally removed in 1980. Till later ....
