Republic of Texas Presidents

“I have long suspected that the Cherokees were our Secret enemies. That while we were treating them with Kindness, they were holding dark councils. These Suspicions are now reduced to absolute proof. The treachery and the hostile machinations of the Cherokees have been fully discovered. The Cherokees can no longer remain among us. I hope they will go in peace and return no more for we have no wish to shed the blood of these natives.” –excerpt of a letter written by the President of Texas in 1839
