It's very interesting that philosophical notions of the legitimacy and nature of states, as well as the legitimacy and nature of property rights, play massive roles here in regards to the history of the Indians.

    A local historian wrote a book about the history of the county. He mentioned that federal troops made the local Native Americans leave, and the local settlers were not happy about them leaving. Neither were the Native Americans (Pottawatomis) happy about leaving. He wrote in 1920 so he was not responding to contemporary ideology...just an average man (postmaster) reporting what had occurred.

    Some of my ancestors were white indian traders who intermarried with the Cherokee and whose descendants were later removed to Oklahoma. Four events greatly contributed to the conflict between whites and Cherokees. First, the Cherokees supported the British on the losing side of the American war of independence. Second, various Cherokee members waged war against white settlers after 1776. Third, gold was discovered in north Georgia, which led to political pressure on the white governments to allow more settlement in the Cherokee lands. Fourth, southern states were claiming the right to nullify federal laws, which put great pressure on Andrew Jackson to try and avoid a constitutional crisis by acceding to demands for indian removal.

    One of the other things he didn't talk about that certainly played a part in Jackson's thinking was that several of the smaller local tribes had actually fought with the British during the War of 1812 against America. Apparently, they are the only people in history to fight with an enemy and then still call themselves Americans when it suits them (i.e. Uncle Sam has more free things to give out).

    AS for the Cherokee, they have never wore feather headdresses except to please tourists. These long headdresses were worn by Plains Indians and were made popular through Wild West shows and Hollywood movies. Cherokee men traditionally wore a feather or three tied at the crown of the head.
    The Cherokee never lived in tipis. Only the nomadic Plains Indians did so. The Cherokee were southeastern woodland Indians, and in the winter they lived in houses made of woven saplings, plastered with mud and roofed with poplar bark. In the summer they lived in open-air dwellings roofed with bark

      Over the course of almost a century the US government hosted visits by hundreds of tribal leaders to Washington to impress upon them the need to control their peoples and accept the reservations. There were few successes as the many tribes were further separated into loose, roaming bands; there was simply no central authority. Moreover those of the Great Plains were much like those of Central Asia - mobile, independent, given to raiding and warlike, and roaming millions of acres.

They could have driven all of them into Mexico or back up to Canada where they originally came from, or wipe them out entirely. But instead gave them nations with their own tribal governments that is paid for by the state's tax dollars where their nation's are located. To say now they were owed anything is laughable. No one is owed anything in life, including them.

      ​@@user-be7tc2bd6e Yes, manifest destiny, contrary to Thomas Jefferson's notion that a thousand years would pass before the settlement of the American wilderness.
      But... "In 1890, the Census Bureau broadcast the closure of the frontier, meaning that in the west there was no apparent tracts of land without settlers. This news was a distinguished event in American history; the frontier represented danger because of the Natives who lived in the region but also freedom and opportunity."

    I am white with indigenous, my kids are white, indigenous and black.... just a melting pot now in some families, I have some family members who are super white that look nothing like me. I have some family members who are super dark that do not look like me. As a child I was confused. I used to identified myself as white, now that I am older I no longer identified as white. I identified myself as mixed. Thomas Sowell is an American hero in mu humble opinion.

      In a free / fair (non- monopoly) (non-government) market place, people are free to vote with their dollars for better products at better prices. These are the true “win win” transactions that few communists can admit always work for everyone involved. Morality has nothing to do with it.

      I doubt if any of my 64 ancestors alive in the 1820’s and thirty’s had much to do with anything happening in the Americas. I’m saying as a general principle, free and fair trade, peacefully conducted is one of the few truly “win win” transactions in human history regardless of race etc. Furthermore, it should be noted some people aren’t going to be happy no matter what. . . So whether it’s a pool or a trail they’re going to cry about whatever. And continually re-bringing up their grievances serves no purpose other than to re-create and maintain endless strife.

      @@vowelsounds6312 True some people will never be happy. Many rich people are not. Complaining comes from all levels of society. I find complaints coming from the lower classes to be more justified than those coming from the top. Just one man's opinion here. The rich man simply has more leverage in the global market as to the value of his work than the poor man. If nothing is done about the imbalance one night run in to other problems like lower birth rates.

    Showing a plains Indian headdress as a thumbnail,on what's supposed to be about Cherokees kind of announces from the beginning, a weak and disrespectful level of understanding of the subject matter.
    Sowell is better than average but will ALWAYS avoid hard, controversial, truths and either sidestep or avoid any real, damning, issues against current leftist indoctrination.
    He will NEVER tell the truth about the Shekel-stein group and will NEVER fully outline real, consequential differences in race and ethnicities.
    Aside from those glaring untruths and deficiencies, he's not bad.
