Forced Removal

By the years 1835 to 1839, with the Trail of Tears travesty, it had become more dangerous
than ever to be Cherokee.
Many Cherokees had taken on new identities by claiming to be French, Black Dutch, Spanish, or even
White if they could pass as such.
So many Cherokees spent their entire lives hiding in plain site and the culture was lost
to their children and grandchildren.
With the Civil War, there were more problems due to most Cherokees siding with the South
and problems with deciding to follow Levi Adams after the death of James Green in 1866.
Levi Adams was only 1/8 Cherokee and had fought with the North. *1
