- Description
- Indians were forced to become "civilized", which led to Indians living in houses and how they dressed. They soon started to work in agriculture and owned plantations. On the plantations, there was a need for labor hands so the Cherokee bought more than 1,500 slaves. Literacy developed soon after the Sequoyah created the Cherokee alphabet. This led to the creation of the newspaper called the Cherokee Phoenix. The Cherokee formed themselves as a nation, created a supreme court, and even wrote a constitution. The influence of whites changed how women were treated.
