Strange Tales of the Natchez Trace (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@Anaijia]

Louis Leflore was my 5th great-grandfather through his son Benjamin. Our family is very knowledgeable about our history, so I'm glad you're sharing this knowledge. We come from the last of the Chakchiuma Tribe who was massacred by DeSoto. Our surviving grandmother Shumaka was forced to join the Choctaws. So although we presently identify with the Choctaw nation, we were originally the Chakchiumas (Red Crawfish) of Mississippi.

[@candacewelbaum8125]

I’m trying to figure out how my grandmother is supposed Choctaw born in Natchez

[@slo-phi5775]

Shumaka? That's interesting my last name is shumaker and the farthest back I can find anything was my great great grandfather coming from Mississippi

[@averagejoe-kx4sb]

Amazing documentary. I’ve lived around the natchez trace most of my life but never have I heard such an amazing explanation as you’ve provided. Thank you sir for educating myself and others about the Natchez Trace.

I always get a bit angry when I learn something new about General/President Andrew Jackson. He was a man without much more than a shred of honor, if he had that much to begin with.

[@jeffreyhershey5754]

You take president jackson and teddy roosevelt and trump All three deserve to be on Mt rushmore I know roosevelt is but get rid of Lincoln and put andy jackson on their along with DONALD JOHN TRUMP 45 then you have the greatest presidents of our nation george washington mediocre president remove him if need be

[@MissingTrails]

​@@jeffreyhershey5754 You seem to choose your favorite presidents in a one-dimensional manner. All three were known for firmness, not backing down--they had backbones. An admirable trait. Unfortunately, President Jackson used his impressive backbone to do a lot of impressively fucked-up shit. The Trail of Tears, for example, rests largely upon the shoulders of Jackson, and he stabbed John Ross in the back (figuratively) deeply & repeatedly in order to get it done. John Ross spent years trying to get the Cherokee nation to be considered for statehood, only for Jackson and Georgia Governor Wilson Lumpkin to push for forced removal _even when offered the peaceful resolution that the statehood option offered._ And none of that is even going into what an absolute shithead he was known to be by his contemporaries. His temper was legendary. He often used his temper and intimidating reputation as a tool of manipulation. He took part in possibly dozens of gun duels in his life, and went to his deathbed with words of genuine hatred for his political enemies. None of this is to say that this nation does not owe a lot to Jackson--the War of 1812 comes to mind. But to name Jackson among the best presidents of these great United States of America is plainly absurd. He was, to be certain, a remarkable individual, but by no means a generally good man.

[@scallopohare9431]

@@MissingTrails He does not need to have been a "generallygood man." He preserved the nation.

[@swearenginlawanda]

I almost got my children in trouble at their school. When they asked me questions about him, I called him "a$$hole " Jackson. (FYI I have a degree in history, so I was well aware of his history and horrible treatment of the first nations.

Most of the men you talk about in this are in my family tree. My 5th great grandfather was the Chickasaw Agent for Mississippi. He knew the Colbert's and signed treaty's with the American government with the Colbert Chiefs, We believe that my 5th great grandmother was a Chickasaw. My 5th great grandfather's signed the 1832 Treaty with the Chickasaw. I should tell you that his brother led the Chickasaw in Battle in 1814 at New Orleans and another of my 3rd great grandfather's fought with Jackson at New Orleans. I have land patents signed by President Jackson for land given to them for service that they used to buy land in Mississippi.

[@cashstore1]

Brings back memories. I started from the South and traveled the Trace to it's end in the North via motorcycle. A tornado had been through there a couple of weeks prior to my trip and a section of it was closed as the road was still impassable. I asked a woman about the tornado while I was paying for gas. She started to cry as her mom had just died from the tornado. I felt terrible and made it a point not to ask anyone about a disaster anywhere in the vicinity of said disaster. To close to home for such questions. I did have a great time riding this road. Very scenic. I stopped at the Lewis site as well. Did not know I about it prior to the trip. I also saw some Indian mounds where they bury their dead.

@@jonathanjohnson8656 I don't know. I moved away from Jackson after college long ago. I still have family there. There was one in 2014 near there that was fairly significant. Maybe it was that one. Six years seems like a long time to leave trees down though.

Another great one Jerry. You need to do a show on just the harp brothers. There was an “octaroon”(mixed race) free man in Robertson County TN names Elijah Cheek who ran Cheek’s Tavern which was on the old stagecoach road between Nashville and Bowling Green near Portland Tennessee in the early 1800s. Very interesting stories about the man and his tavern. He reportedly would rob and kill travelers to stopped to stay overnight. There is a large cave there with a sink hole far behind above the cave entrance and he was thought it dispose of the bodies in the cave and sinkhole. One story is that a man disappeared and his dog stayed at the sinkhole for days until the dog died.

So much for the myth that "only" European explorers/settlers wronged the native American Indians }:(

[@jeez3838]

If you are referring to DeSoto and the Conquistadors, they were from Spain, ergo they were Europeans. But I get your meaning either way.

[@Alvar2001]

@@jeez3838 Where the Spanish settled, the Indians survived and prospered in numbers, wealth, and knowledge. European culture was instilled in them by hook or by crook, usually by hook, because they saw the benefits of having sheeps and cows instead of hunting deer, and of weaving wool instead of chewing leather to make moccasins. The descendants of these Indians number several hundred million today. Where the people who came on the Mayflower settled, the Indians were exterminated in one way or another. The facts are stubborn even if they don't like them, but y get your meaning either way. Good for Hernando.

[@southernshop8424]

@@Alvar2001 look up what the spanish did to the inca, mayan and aztec people.

[@Alvar2001]

@@southernshop8424 Yes, what "we" spaniards did to the inca, mayan and aztec people?? I don´t have enough time to enlighten people for free. But in short, Mexico and Perú, the main states the inhereted the aztec and inca legacy, have together today above 160 million people, 95% of them descndants of the inhabitants of the aztec and inca empires, and they are the ones that rule their country. They were conquered by two troops slightly biggers than that of Custer, but with the assistance at last of thousands and thousands of natives that just didn´t like being feede in cages and sacrificed in a temple and then eaten by other fellows. People are like this. The result is that those natives weren´t exterminated like the ones by english and Washington sons, they just had replaced their king by other one living thousands miles abroad and were taught and learnt to use all the knowledge and culture that spaniards had in less than 50 years, something it took us in Europe about 5.000 years to develope. The year 1551 were founded the first two universities in current Mexico and Peru and few years laters sons os aztecs and incas were building barroque cathedrals sometimes bigger than in Europe and were composing choral polyphony. They weren´t slaves in their country, they just were citizens like spaniards in the european peninsula. In the early XIX Humboldt visited that lands and concluded the standard of living of natives in America was better that the one of many europeans. In fact, Humboldt was prussian, and in Prussia in Humboldt time still existed the institution of servitude. What did you do to the natives that welcomed british ith turkeys in the East Coast of current USA? How many are their descendants today? Who is living today in the lands of your home, native or inmigrants? Are you descendant of those american natives? How many natives are you in your state? what did british or their descendants taught to your ancestors? Do you nativers have a prominent role in your society? Thanks.
