Cultural Tidbits
In the 1830's, the State of Georgia instructed the Georgia Guard to protect the goldmines, and prevent Cherokees from assembling in National Council. The punishment for those Cherokee legislators to meet in council, pursuant to the oath of office, was 4 years of hard labor by the State of Georgia. The punishment was the same for any Cherokee court to sit, or any person or officers to issue process for the Nation. Failure to pledge allegiance to the State of Georgia also resulted in 4 years of hard labor for a Cherokee citizen.
