A Cherokee slave cabin

| What! Indians were slave owners? How do we know
that?
What is the relationship between Cherokees and slaves? Was slavery a
European idea brought to the Cherokee, or did they keep slaves in the
pre-Contact era? How was early Cherokee slavery different from later
slavery? How was early Cherokee slavery related to warfare? And speaking
of warfare, did slavery affect Cherokee loyalties during the
Civil War? This is a topic with many surprises to be encountered
along the way. We need somebody to teach us about this... |
