| Abstract | "The alliance proved unequal, with the British refusing aid while requiring the Cherokee to fight on the British side against the French and rebellious Americans. At the same time, the Cherokee were moving away from their traditional ways, and leadership disagreements caused the nation to become internally fragmented"-- Provided by publisher. |
