generally cherokee investment the chickasaws are notably disliking black people. the historical sources say that their travel agents, white men who come into these nations all savior, surprised at how badly black people are treated or how badly chickasaw choctaw indians think about b black people come not that they their racialr the other nations, i think you kindn of in a better way and a click away, around in the cherokee, creek nations to adoption and to allowing black people and black indians to take on leadership roles to play part in government, whereas as you mentioned in the chickasaw mission, free people are never adopted. so there's nothing we can even put you to say at one time we were adopted and that we were disenfranchised are they signed a treaty at a never followed through on those promises choctaws did at a later date but because the chickasaw and choctaw treaties were tied together, it didn't necessarily come to the end of the treaty was supposed to come to touch her okay. alcon explained that? the choctaws and chickasaws have an interesting trea

i want to tell you that chickasaws man and the way he talks about his former owners.says at that time, the indians did not have anything but small farms and of course among them, they worked like they should. the slaves enough corn to make the bread. and so this may seem maybe this isn't that bad language that he uses, they didn't work like they should. i mean, using the idea of americanness as craig will but the native americans were really looking to survive. so anything is with american and people were capable of working harder, the way they should if they were only given the model and the opportunity. and so this is strategic language use in the increase of the words and very aware that was the united states it had negotiated for the freedoms and for the land ownership, let the former slave owners. some of them align themselves with white americans and the definitions of civilization and productivity. as for five people look to move west, we see some of them also using these ideas about native americans laziness or lack of productivity or civilization. in effect f

can furn 10,000 warriors if needed the choctaws and chickasaws are extremely anxious to form another regiment. the data included in the compiled military service records. tell us not only about individual soldiers, but can reveal aspects of the changing nature of choctaw society. so for instance the names on these records can simultaneously demonstrate the influence of euro-americans and the resilience of traditional naming practices. so here is an example of some of the names that we can see on in these records. so you'll see names such as john simpson several thomas jefferson's age jefferson davis a private h25, but all so more traditional names like cubby or ehan tubby or hiyo. kanubi. you see these blended names right where there's a euro a european route of a name, but then combined with choctaw language name and then you also see surnames of prom families within the choctaw political arenas so the fulsom's laforce and mccurtains are important families that produce district or principal chiefs and the choctaw nation during the 19th century. so again something as simple as these

the former slaves of the chickasaw indians. so the reason that the land is for the indian free people in these treaties 1866, is direct and historically significant is because this was black through american government action republicans have not been able to giving african-americans in the united states, land pretty and it was frankly impossible for the majority of republicans who were moderately to imagine taking them from a white person giving into a black person has i'm sure you know, property ownership o was continues to be one of the most revered american values. but republicans such as the secretary of interior and unit in the affairs time can imagine imgiving inland to people of african dissent because of the opinions the five tribes did value plan because it devalued private land ownership in the same way the white americans dead and as you saw the indians use the plan is in civilized not properly use utilizing land therefore to leon community in atlanta people of african descent, is kind of the softy idealistic republ

[laughter] or for the chickasaw nation you can see barbara krauthammer's book. but in general it looks a lot like what you think of as slavery and the american south. as of again, the mix of crop production can be a little bit different, but there are those that are large slaveholders that are producing cotton from market. there's examples of broad rrmarriages meaning marriages where the enslaved partners don't live on the same plantation. i would say something that's a little bit different is that you see examples of sometimes enslaved people serving as interpreters because sometimes you have enslaved people that may have been enslaved in a ngplace like georgia or alabamar something and speak english but then now are first in the language into so you have that happen sometimes where there are enslaved people serving as interpreters in the nation so that probably would come as a surprise to people but in many ways they are very similar to the larger american south. there are some accounts that you see where enslaved people in the autobiographies and narratives l

walker arrived with choctaw and chickasaw troops. they remembered the followed us a half mile out on prarie. they ordered the supplies and ammunition located in honey springs. they lead the squad. formerly enslaved person remembered the s smoke and fires the yankees burned up honey springs. in reality he saw the result of confederate action rather then federal action. some enslaved people saw the battleea and retreated. davis heard the guns going all dayev and in the evening. they come riding and running by where we is and don't make no difference how much they holler. they can't make it stop. this matchesma the comments that confederate troops scattered that caused confusion. privateiv edward reported that s companyy stampeded and broke for thet mountains and almost got away. banks' uncle jacob told her the fighting at honey creek was the most terrible fighting he has seen but the union soldiers went back to fort gibson. rebels wereth chased all over ad couldn't find each other. he returned with the troops. a disheartened private fr

the civil war, but that treaty says, which is very similar to three other treaties trump, johnson, chickasawigned the same treaty of 66. the cherokee signed one of their own and some were signed one of their own. but in the muskogee treaty, that really is the foundation. the decision is that it states that the boundaries of the nation are still intact. so this gives the right of federal government, which is already human rights to major crimes that 1869 committed by. you have authority and not the authority of the state government of oklahoma to punish individuals in this situation. and so in that same language, then the choctaw subjects lost also hundreds of cherokees and seminoles. one can imagine that those all kind of came together that at one time related people hundreds. there was plan called the state of sequoyah that possibly happen hypothetically and theoretical even in the state of sequoyah movement 1905 and 1960 was also called state of the ocean. state of oklahoma, state of tecumseh, and several names up there. mm kay. real quick. randall would like to know how significant might

the cherokee, most of the, the seminal, the choctaw and the chickasaw, we've got all five. so there's always that ha movement going there and in 1830 congress passes the indian removal which empowers the federal government to send outnegotiators . send out these negotiators to create trees to exchange lands in the southeast in what's designated in indian territory, that portion of louisiana purchase territory west of arkansas. the very first of these trees is a tree of dancing rabbit creek with the choctaw in 1831. and so they sign this agreement to remove from basically your job to indian territory and they did it in three waves from 1831 to 1833 . not all the choctaw. we're talking about 15,000 of population shy of 20,000 so the vast majority. the thing is the first wave hits a blizzard. second wave is going to be decimated by cholera. and all three waves will face significant supply shortages and general incompetence on the part of the federal individuals who are leading this process so that when said and done something like 2 to 4000 people will die in the process and i

my thesis was own the battle in chickasaw bayou which was one of the failed attempts right there and if i ever get around to it i'll i'll publish too one time my mother has a copy thank thank you very much. she says hello, by the way. she just texted i say she thinks that our name it dead yankees in a swamp. see, i knew that joke would go over well, because i know my crowd and it's all about kay blessed kay are equals. i am so. but you'll never figure that one out. if you look at this. right here ladies and yeoman here's campaign of vicksburg. general grant, if you if you watch it unfold it makes a lot sense. but in double quick time, general grant actually starts on louisiana side. he can't his ultimate objective is to get to high and dry ground behind vicksburg. so how do you do that? what most people fail to recognize is the mississippi river is to the west of vicksburg, the big black is to the south. and to the east of vicksburg, and then you have the yazoo river, which is to the north. so that that's a huge problem for grant to overcome right there. so what ends up doing, long s

what are known as the five civilized tribes, the cherokee, muskogee, creek, seminole, choctaw and chickasaw. adding is bad for me, all right. there's that movement in 1830 congress passes the indian removal act which empowers the federal government to send out negotiators, send out negotiators to create treaties to exchange lands in the southeast for lands in what is designated indian territory, that portion of louisiana purchase territory west of arkansas. the first of these is the treaty of dancing rabbit creek with the choctaw in 1831. and they signed this agreement to move from basically georgia to indian territory and did it in 3 ways from 1831 and ultimately 1833. we are talking about 15,000 the out of a population shy of 20,000, the vast majority. the thing is the first wave hits a blizzard. secondly, the second wave is decimated by cholera. all three waves are going to face significant supply shortages and the general incompetence on the part of the federal individuals who are leading this process so all said and done something like 2000 to 4000 people are going to die in the proces
