*** and moving them to Oklahoma...
Andrew Jackson was an a$$.............***
Now what would happen if we got a guilt trip over this and DEMANDED all Cherokees give up their possessions in Oklahoma and move back to the Carolinas!
They are so ingrained in Oklahoma you might have another fight on your hands!
ALL Ani-Yun-Wiya (Cherokee) aren’t in Oklahoma...Have you ever heard of the Qualla Reservation in North Carolina????
Chief Tsali hid out in the mountains with about 1,000 braves when jackson ordered “The Removal”...jackson spent 3 years trying to catch him, but could not...He finally said if he surrendered, Jackson would allow the rest to remain in North Carolina...He did and was immediately executed...Jackson then formed the Qualla Reservation below Asheville. Why didn’t Jackson do this from the start and save the lives of approximately 8,000 Cherokee men, womwn and children who died along the Trail of Tears???????
As I said before, Jackson was an a$$...
BTW, I am Ani-Yun-Wiya and a veteran of Vietnam...I am American through and through also!!!!!!
My ancestors were treated like dogs by Jackson...I hold HIM accountable for this...A great American named David Crockett fought against this removal in the US Congress but was not successful...
