5 Jan 1826 Jahr - Elias Boudinot publishes "An Address to the Whites"

Beschreibung:

In "An Address to the Whites", Boudinot, a Cherokee Native, demonstrates the growing rift between the expanding United States and the indigenous communities. He urges his people to abandon their traditional ways in favor of integrating into the US; he saw integration as the only way to save his people. His work illustrates the struggle of the Native Americans to cling to their culture in the midst people violating their land.
