PLS HELP Read the excerpt from "For the Cherokee Phoenix.”
What will be our fate, God only knows. Georgia is extending her laws over us and at the same time stripping us of every right and privilege—agents of the United States are assiduous to induce us to quit our native homes. If this is not oppression, I know not what it is. Should we finally fall a sacrifice to the avarice of this fair, free and happy republic, as it is called, the sad news, no doubt will reach London, Paris, and Madrid as a stigma on its boasted character. Nay the mournful story will be reiterated in St. Petersburg. Oppressed Greece, too, will sympathize with us and drop a tear over our funeral pile.
