A FEW OF THE MASSACRES

NITS MAKE LICE!
"While conducting military raids, John Sevier) had said that Cherokee children were "nits that make lice" and that they should be "exterminated".

"Murder is murder and somebody must answer, somebody must explain the streams of blood that flowed in the Indian country in the summer of 1838."
The Soldier Who Was Good To Us. (On the Trail)

1788: John Sevier led a group of whites to attack Cherokee towns. Robert Benge saved many of the Cherokee of Ustalli (Ustally) Town by evacuating them before and during the attack. Ustalli was located in southwestern North Carolina on the Hiwassee River very close to present-day Tennessee. Five of the Cherokee rearguard were killed while trying to bide time for the evacuees, and the white militia captured one young boy. John Sevier and his men burned the town and attempted to run down the evacuees. Benge set up an ambush at the mouth of Valley River which delayed the attackers and allowed the Cherokee to reach safety. However, at this point, the little boy who had been captured was "brutally murdered" by Thomas Christian who was quoted as saying:
"Nits make lice."

AND NOT JUST IN 1838 - BUT FROM FIRST CONTACT UNTIL THE PRESENT - IN THE THIRST FOR CONQUEST AND THEFT OF ALL THAT THE GOOD CREATOR GAVE US - THE COST IN BLOOD WAS DISREGARDED AND STILL IS! IT IS SAID THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS/WAS THE BLOODIEST IN WORLD HISTORY. HOW TRUE TO THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES - ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN - OF TURTLE ISLAND! AND THEY CALLED US SAVAGES! THEY WHO WAGED WAR ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN!

"Hiram Big Tooth Gregory and all his Indian fighters raped the women and younger female children of all ages, pillaged, cut bellies open, murdered, and scalped over 100 Chickamaugan Cherokee women and children that had been trapped underneath Ywahoo Falls, killing most of them as they ran, begged, huddled together, and screamed and pleaded for life."

"Tassel remained closely at home, while Abraham of Chilhowee, declared politely that if his people went to war he would remain at his own house and never quit it. Sevier and Hubbard assembled several hundred militiamen at Hunter's Station, on Nine Mile Creek, and dashed off to Hiwassee River, where they killed many warriors, took some prisoners, burned their towns, and returned to Hunter's. The next day they swept up the Little Tennessee, burned Tallassee and sonic other towns, killed many Indians and returned.
On their return from Tallassee the troops marched down the south bank of the Little Tennessee River. When they had gotten opposite Chilhowee, on the north of the river, they halted. Governor Sevier was absent, and Major Hubbard was left in command. He sent for Abraham and his son to come over the river to him, at the same time raising a flag of truce, that they might be assured of their safety. They came without hesitation. He then directed them to bring The Tassel and his son, that helle might hold a talk with them. When they came he put them all in a house and surrounded it with his men.He then put a tomahawk in the hand of John Kirk and led them into the house. There, under a flag of truce, between four walls, while the soldiers on guard watched the carnage, his commanding officer standing by his side, the boy buried his tomahawk in the head of the nearest Indian, who fell dead at his feet. The others, recognizing the fate intended for them, with the stoic courage that enables the Indian warrior to face even a harsher death without quailing, inclined their heads forward, cast their eyes upon the ground, and one after another received the fatal blow.
"

Yahoo Falls- The story of the massacre of 110 Cherokee women and children at Yahoo Falls, Daniel Boone Forest Kentucky, has been suppressed and much misinformation has been disseminated. The conception of death as understand by Euros is one cause of this misinformation. Who Big Jake Troxell and Cornblossom were did die at Yahoo Falls but their bodies did not. Another point to understand is the inhumane warfare conducted by people like Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, John Sevier, William Blount, Hiram Gregory and their followers. To protect their women and children from slaughter, leaders like Doublehead, Big Jake and others often faked their deaths to stop the wholesale slaughter of their people. Remember, men such as Sevier carried out their warfare on the defenseless, not warriors. John Sevier coined the phrase 'nits make lice' and rigorously practiced what he preached; massacring women and children in an attempt to wipe out the 'Indians' by destroying their progeny.

A MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED AT STEARNS KENTUCKY BUT NOT AT THE FALLS. IT IS PAST TIME FOR ONE THERE WHERE THE DASTARDLY DEEDS OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS UNFOLDED!
