Or the Chickamauga Wars [Cherokee <allied with the British>  vs America] in the colonial Southeastern states during the Revolutionary War.

In the first phase, lasting 1776–1783, the Cherokee also fought as allies of the Kingdom of Great Britain against its rebellious colonies. This first part of this phase, from summer 1776 to summer of 1777, involved the all sections of the entire Cherokee nation, and is often referred to as the "Cherokee War of 1776". At the end of 1776, the only militant Cherokee were those who migrated with Dragging Canoe to the Chickamauga towns, for which they were known to the frontierspeople as the "Chickamauga" or "Chickamauga Cherokee".

Two wrongs do not make a right, but maybe this will help some revisionist historians and the plain stupid understand how the Trail of Tears came about when a young man who suffered during these hard times became POTUS and payback was first and foremost on his mind.  Andrew Jackson.

Before you go thinking I'm down on the Cherokees, consider this.  One of my greatest heroes of War of Northern Aggression is Stand Watie.

And I am reminded every time an arrow point is found on my farm of the proud history of those here in northwest Alabama who settled this land long before my family 200 years ago.  Their heritage proudly lives on.
