Abstract:
During the colonial period, the British attempted to maintain friendly relations with the Cherokees in the international struggle for American soil. In an attempt to move cooperatively against a common enemy, southern colonies, including North Carolina were authorized to devastate the Cherokee nation in all settlements. This article describes this destructive expedition and bearing on the immediate Cherokee in the vicinity of the town of Nununyi.
