On the Fact that (According to the William G. McLoughlin Book, "Cherokee Renascence In the New Republic") Not Only Did the Cherokee Enslave Neighboring Indians, the Tribe Also a) Sold Many of These Slaves to European Settlers and Explorers, b) Bought and Sold African Slaves, and c) Captured and Returned Runaway Slaves to the White Plantations for Rewards

Wow, so they weren't saints any more that the Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish were. How totally unsurprising..........................................................................................................P.S. And, no, I'm not judging them harshly for these acts in that I, unlike the dolts coming out of the academy these days, understand the idiocy of judging 17th and 18th Century people by our present-day sensibilities. I only included them for contextual reasons, obviously.
