It wouldn’t, but it’s ludicrous to see anyone today giving any weight to an “agreement” that isn’t written down anywhere.

Even Indian tribes on the Great Plains who had no written languages would have laughed at this.

Only because they learned early on that all too often, the paleface spoke with a "forked tongue".

(As foreign to the Judeo-Christian tradition that their moral code may have been, they did take one's word seriously.)
