Do you deny that STAND WATIE sold off Cherokee land against Cherokee law?

Do you deny that he was forced to flee a Death sentence passed down by the tribe?

Do you deny that the trail of tears is a direct result of his actions?

Do you deny he was one of the largest slave owners in the Cherokee nation?

All of the above is historical fact that doesn't even need to be proven to you.

He sold out his own people for profit and indirectly caused the deaths of 4000 Cherokee that died along the trail of tears.

Your version of history is much too kind to this traitor.



And you still can't answer my question about the Confederate Museum, my, my, surely anyone with the love for the confederacy especially someone that (quote)has been there(unquote), would know the answer.

I'm going to so enjoy giving out the answer when you finally admit you just don't have a clue.

YEP. i think you are not only a scalawag & turncoat southerner, but also aren't too bright, when it comes to historical FACT.

may i suggest that you read Wilma Mankiller's book to learn the truth about the General, IF indeed you are interested in knowing the FACTS. imVho, you do NOT want to know the TRUTH (especially after your latest post) as it will make you look IGNORANT!

for starters, Stand Watie was quite a YOUNG man, not able to sell ANYTHING, when the "treaty party" was forced to sign the treaty for removal & sold the land.

had you checked your facts,you would know that it was Buck Watie (his elder brother), who made the $$$$$, if anyone in the family did.

as for the rest of it, let me save time typing & simply say: BUNK!
