Typical CON$ervoFascist revisionism! The Cherokees fought for both sides in the Civil War. The slaveholding Cherokees fought with the South and the rest of the Cherokees fought with the North.It's well known history, but you are a CON$ervoFascist so you only have revisionist history, and even after I post a link you will not condemn the worthless lying scum CON$ervoFascist sources for being the worthless lying scum they are.
Both were lying dingbat? WHERE is your source to refute it?
Indian removal
The Cherokee, on the other hand, were tricked with an illegitimate treaty. In 1833, a small faction agreed to sign a removal agreement: the Treaty of New Echota. The leaders of this group were not the recognized leaders of the Cherokee nation, and over 15,000 Cherokees -- led by Chief John Ross -- signed a petition in protest. The Supreme Court ignored their demands and ratified the treaty in 1836. The Cherokee were given two years to migrate voluntarily, at the end of which time they would be forcibly removed. By 1838 only 2,000 had migrated; 16,000 remained on their land. The U.S. government sent in 7,000 troops, who forced the Cherokees into stockades at bayonet point. They were not allowed time to gather their belongings, and as they left, whites looted their homes. Then began the march known as the Trail of Tears, in which 4,000 Cherokee people died of cold, hunger, and disease on their way to the western lands.
No wonder the Cherokee fought on the side of the south during the civil war.
Fucking democrats take what belong to others always have thanks for the reminder ED
