Episode 4: A Nation Divided
Beautiful Losers of History by Nathan McDermott
Episode notes
We return to our primary narrative of the Cherokee Nation and explore the political divisions that arose in response to American bribes for land. The nation will become so divided that a delegation is sent to Washington DC to negotiate with President Thomas Jefferson.
