Re: Mixed Races, Indian and White

That entire period is fascinating to me. The wheeling n dealing, back stabbing and outright double crossing was all caused by the whites.
Hubby's GUncle, William Weatherford (Red Eagle) led the Ft Mims massacre. They killed his nieces husband and would have killed her too but one of the Creeks recognized her and helped her escape. He and Andy Jackson had a real barn burner going until Red Eagle went to Jackson and asked for food for the women and children. Things seemed to get better after that. Andy moved on to the Seminole problem then. He just plain hated Indians and wanted them all gone.
