Re: Historians behind Americas social problems

     I admit I made some big mistakes, and didn't do my home work before
I posted, however I stand by my storey that it was the Yankees that were
behind resettling the Indians, 
      The South had nothing to gain, and the north had everything to
gain from establishing Oklahoma as an Indian Nation. 
    A little study of Texas history, makes the reason for Indian
segregation, a lot clearer, The Indian removal was in 1838 two years
after Texans won their Independence from mexico in 1836. Texas applied
for State hood and was turned down, because Texas was considered a slave
nation.
     Ten years later the Union was forced to accept Texas slavery and
all, and gave Texas a luctrive, package that included millions of
dollars and the opportunity to divide into 5 states, as the population
increased
       The Texas deal was so luctrive it is obvious, the Yankee
controlled Congress. never intended to honor the treaty.and the Yankees,
had already decided war with the South was unavoidable. 
The real purpose for annexing Texas, was to Invade Mexico and move the
Texas border, 150 miles further South.
      Hundreds of  German  settlements were springing up all along the
border with Mexico,  Washington feared An alliance between Germany, and
Spain meant the two European Powers were trying to gain a foot hold on
the N American Continent.
       I am not exactly sure how this fits into the Indian removal
however Cherokee Indians, were the Second largest ethnic group. next to
white Southerners fighting against Mexico for Independence.
       This was 2 years before the Yankee controlled army forcibly moved
th Cherokees to Indian territory.
     In my view the brutality, that killed 3,000  Cherokees, was
specifically to make the Cherokees hate all white men.
This supposedly would keep white men out of Indian territory.
      The Cherokee women were beautiful, well educated and considered
themselves Southerners, marrying a white man was not considered bad in
the eyes of the Cherokees. especially considering so many Cherokee men
had left for Texas.
     The Cherokees being more civilized and more Southern seems to be
the reason,
the Cherokees were singled out for ill treatment by the Yankee army.
      After the illegal annexation of Texas. in 1846, and Texas was
given State hood,
Zachary Tailor invaded mexico, and covertly established Richard King,
Stone wall Jackson's river boat Captain  as a dictator, over all the
land seized from Mexico, between the Rio Grand and the Nuecess river.
        Cattle ranching was the cover, however keeping Europeans out of
Texas was the Governments goal for Establishing the worlds largest
cattle ranch, still known as ''the king Ranch''
      Prior to the Mexican invasion, a Ship could dock in Corpus Christi
harbor, It's passengers could slip across the Nuecess River, and melt
into any of the hundreds of European settlements, from the hill country
to San Patricio on the Gulf coast.
      The ruthless dictatorial practices established by the Yankees,
continued by King' descendants  for decades, Trespassers were shot on
sight, as late as the 1940s. the practice was finally sloped because the
trespassers began shooting back.
      Outlaw hunters or machos, loved the danger and would shoot a fence
rider before they could  themselves be shot.
With so many orphents and widdows, to care for. The Kings finally
decided to end the practice. Word was put out, that no more traspassers
would be shot.
      Growing up in the no mans land south of the Nuecess river, many
things are learned from experience, that can not be learned from reading
recorded  history.
      Growing up I often wondered ''why are were there so many German
Catholic towns north of the Nuecess, and none south of the river,   
      I also learned most of the land in the No mans land, at one time
was settled with Mexicans, and the Mexicans were driven of the land at
the barrel of a gun.
This I learned from descendants of those that were driven from the land
by the yankee, invaders.
     Although the Yankee plan to seperate Indians from whites was a
misrable fallier.
the over all plan to stop Southern expansion, at the Arkansas border was
a great sucess. It  would be 88 years after the plan, to remove the
Indians from their land, until Oklahoma became a state in
1910. By this time most of the west was settled through Kansas and
Colorado.
      The long pan handle added to the State of Oklahoma was added by
washington to keep Texans from mengling with sympthizers in Colorado.
