Beschreibung
Did you know that Andrew Jackson fought in and survived the Revolutionary War, spending time as a British prisoner? Did you know he lost his entire family? Did you know Europeans introduced the practice of scalping in America? Did you know that, for a time, the British offered generous payments in silver for Native American skins? Andrew Jackson and Cherokee leader, Major Ridge had a complicated relationship, but they had one thing in common—a bitter hatred toward the British. Did you know that Ridge and his men won the battle against the Red Sticks at Horseshoe Bend and that was the beginning of his friendship with Jackson? These two men forged a successful alliance fighting the Natives allied with the British during the War of 1812. After careful researching, this novel lends a new perspective to the Trail of Tears, which branded President Jackson as a heartless leader.
