To the PC deniers of Cherokee slaveholders, an article by NPR (recent) that the Cherokee want to expel families of former slaves (that they owned, BLACK) from the tribe.

The Cherokee documents where they finally sided with the confederacy are interesting in that regard- the reasons they cite for joining the confederacy include the fear that slavery would be outlawed.

The source of black slavery is african-africans. They should all leave America and move back
to their homeland. 10k each and a free ticket, and one goat.

one goat is obsolete

the requirement now is a five year old Toyota pickup

The Comanche tribe captured whites, blacks, and Mexicans and integrated them into their tribes. Quanah Parker, the last great chief of the Comanche, was the son of Chief Nocona and a captured white woman.

In Mississippi, before and after Statehood in 1817, Choctaws owned slaves, most slaves were black, but some were indians captured from the alabama tribes that fought with the British against the choctaws in the French and Indian wars. Choctaws also aligned with the south during the war of northern aggression (as granny was prone to say). Said all that,but you couldn’t get one of 10 african americans to give up a slot at the Silverstar in Philadelphia. But they will vote against the Mississippi state flag in the school board meetings. Why it’s a symbol of hatred and slavery. STRAIN at GNATs but Swallow Camels
