They were Christians and farmers in Georgia who had taken on the ways of White Americans. They were educated, too.

During our early Texas history, our dealings with Indians was akin to a no quarters asked or given blood feud, especially and particularly with the Comanche. Our dealings with the Cherokee Indians were . . . however . . . simply despicable.  Among those who participate in Texian history discussions, the subject still tends to provoke temper tantrums and denials.

I agree. Even though these people took on many customs of the White people, they were still pushed out.

Yeah, but how come the Germans who settled in central Texas generally had good relations with the local Indians, while the Anglos and even the Mexicans did not?

I also find it interesting that some Seminoles from Florida (actually a mixture of Georgia Indians and runaway black slaves) wound up in South Texas. They even have a reservation, I believe.
