Righting Wrongs of History in Georgia Indians Policy
A long essay argues Georgia treated Indians, especially Cherokees and Creeks, with justice despite external critics. It recounts Oglethorpe, Tomichichi, treaties, Fort Hawkins, and figures like McGillivray and Weatherford, noting federal buyouts, removal policy, Worcester v. Georgia, and shifting power between state and federal governments.
