Answer.
first lesson of history based on a reading of this article is that history is more complicated than you think. journalist Sedgwick gives a picture of the decades-long conflicts that divided the Cherokee Nation and eventually led factions to fight on both the Confederate and Yankee sides of the Civil War. It discusses the political conflict as an interpersonal difference between two Cherokee leaders, friends who turned bitter rivals. the Ridge, and John Ross—both of mixed Cherokee and Scottish ancestry—first met each other while fighting under Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812. the two men later served, as respective leaders of a thriving tribe whose government had a constitution and legislative and judiciary branches.By the early 1830s, the Cherokee were forced to leave Georgia on the Trail of Tears. It is then that the two leaders began to take opposing views about the forced migration of the Cherokee nation. Ross wanted to fight the federal order, and the Ridge and his followers responded to their removal as inevitable and wanted to reconcile and wager for the best deal possible and they break with each other on the subject of removal, and finally, the two factions battle against each other on opposite sides of the US Civil War. Their pride and differences ultimately lead to a fragmentation and tragic migration of the First Nation.
