Today in Chickamauga History - November 24

‍

1792, November 24:  After 1783, the CHICKAMAUGA allied with Spain. All lands south of the Ohio River over to the ridge of the Appalachian to near Mobile, Alabama over to the Mississippi were given to the CHICKAMAUGA by Spain.  Chief BLOODY FELLOW looked at the map provided Spanish Baron DE CARONDELET, stating it was correct.  In fact, BLOODY FELLOW’s son was raised by the Spanish.  The Creek, CHICKAMAUGA, and on and off the Choctaw were all allies of Spain.  The Spanish would not negotiate with Overhill Cherokee (John ROSS’ Cherokee) because of LITTLE TURKEY.  

See Baron de CARONDELET’s speech to the Cherokee Nation (meaning the CHICKAMAUGA) dated 24, November 1792:

Carondelet’s Speech to the Cherokee Nation
To the chiefs, warriors and others of the Cherokee nation.
Brothers. I have seen with much satisfaction the chiefs Respiracion, Chickamoga Charles, and the Bloody-fellow warrior of your nation: I have heard their words, which I will preserve in my heart. The losses and misfortunes of your nation have afflicted me, and I desire sincerely to relieve them.

I transmit to the great king of the Spains whatever your messengers have said to me. His Majesty keeps in his heart all the coloured people, he desires their happiness, and that all of them should live in peace, and preserve their lands. The great king will employ with pleasure his mediation between your nation and those of the North your allies, with the US. his friends, for the reestablishment of peace between both, and that all may be content.

Brothers. Your messengers will tell you what they have seen and heard, the good counsels which I have given them, the strict union which I procure for the happiness of the coloured men our good friends, and to keep at a distance from them in future the miseries of war. Let your nation suspend all hostility against the US. keeping themselves within their lands on the defensive, while the good king treats of peace between you and the Americans your neighbors, and obtains from them the lands necessary for your habitations, with a demarcation of limits which may leave no more room for contest.

You will let me know your claims as to limits that I may immediately inform the great king of them, and if the other nations of the North, your allies, will let me know theirs, I will procure that they may be comprised in the same treaty, which shall terminate your differences with the US.
Given, these presents, signed with my hand, sealed with the seal of my arms, in the city of New Orleans the 24th. of Nov. 1792.
the Baron of Carondelet
by order of his Seignory
Andrew Lopez de Arnesto
(signed) THE BARON OF CARONDELET
