Details
The American Revolution was not the only war happening in the colonies during the 1700s. Tensions with the American colonists, the British government, and between Cherokee communities sparked phases of the Cherokee-American Wars, lasting 18 years. These conflicts resulted in an insurmountable number of Cherokee deaths, displacement, and cessation of thousands of acres of land in Kentucky and the Ohio River Valley Territory to the American government.
Join Brandon Dillard, Director of Historic Interpretation and Audience Engagement with Monticello, as he discusses the ramifications of the American Revolution on the Cherokee Nation during the 18th century, and how the perception of these wars has been passed through generations of Cherokee to today.
