Historically, the Eastern band of the Cherokees assimilated to colonist. This part of the tribe adopted European culture, and was actually one of the few tribes in America to own people and plantations. The Western band didn’t assimilate and didn’t take the steam boats and wagons to move to OK and thus the trail of tears commenced.
Maybe this is why the Cherokee were so easily enslaved.
