Question: Do you think a Native American would sell you his land!?
If you went up to a Creek or a Cherokee Indian in the 1830s and asked if you could buy some of his or her land, what would he or she say to you!?

They were under a lot of pressure those days!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They wouldn't understand the question!. How can you own land!? It just sit there, and anybody can walk on it!. They'd trade you a mountain range for some pots and pans and think that you got duped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He would definitely sell you the land!.

He'd be on his way out West, money in his pocket!.

The government would have the land, and you'd be up the creek!.
