You can find the information in a number of books written in the last 50 years.

Not sure it's on the net though.

It is COMMON KNOWLEDGE among historians.

The Cherokee lost their lands through FORCED SALES ~ just like those people in Connecticut.

Some things never change.

BTW, the Cherokee tribes were fairly wealthy for their time.

I've never read of ANY Cherokee traveling from the concentration camps near near Cleveland, Tennessee. Please provide a source that claims any Cherokee rode a train to the wilderness relocation camps.

Their lands were not bought. The government forced them to trade for wilderness land given to the group and took land owned by individuals. They looted the homes before burning them to the ground. Then the government gave the land to Whites by lottery.
