[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5716157, member: 24302"] I'm well aware of conflicts between tribes. Have you heard of the "Five Civilized Tribes?" Cherokees were one of them and they were living peacefully in what is now North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. They had adopted much of white culture, many had accepted Christianity, many had married whites. But gold was discovered and whites wanted the Cherokee's land. Andrew Jackson decided they must go and sent in the Army to remove them. They were marched to Oklahoma in what became known as the "Trail of Tears" because so many died. Some retreated to the Smoky Mountains to become the Eastern Band of the Cherokees. My family settled in what is now Stilwell, OK and there's still a lot of mixed raced Cherokee McLemores there.
