Ans: We Moved To Eatonton
Georgia, We Are The Yamassee, A Branch Of The Washitaw Moors,
The Mound Builders. Our Ancestors Built The Eagle Rock Mound And
Many Others In Such States As Wisconsin, Ohio, South Carolina,
Louisiana, And Tennessee. This Is Why We Chose Eatonton To Live.
It Is Close To Eagle Rock Mound. The Yamassee Or Jamassi,
Meaning "Gentle" Are A native American Tribe That Lived In
Georgia, On Ocmulgee River Not Far Above Its Junction With The
Oconee In 1715 A.D. The Yamassee Rose In Rebellion Against The
English And Killed Two Or Three Hundred Settlers But Were
Defeated By Governor Craven And Took Refuge In Florida Where
Until The Cession Of Florida To Great Britain, The Yamassee As
Allies Of The Spaniards. Some Remained In The Neighborhood Of
The St. Johns River Until The Outbreak Of The Seminole War. The
Oklawaha Band Of The Seminole Is Said To Have Been Descended
From The yamassee. In 1730 A.D. Some Of The Yamassee Settled On
The Site Of What Is Now Savannah Georgia, Under The name Of
Yamacraw. The Yamassee War (1715-1716 A.D.) In The United States
Colonial History Is The Conflict Between The Native Americans
And British Colonists In The Southeastern Area Of South
Carolina, Because The British Settlers That Were Into The Slave
Business Took Yamassee Women and Children As A Payment For
Trading Goods That The British Gave To The Yamassee Knowing That
The Yamassee Would Not Be Able To Pay For The Trading Goods.
The Yamassee Originally Lived in
Georgia, However when The Spanish Settlers Pushed Them Out By
Imposing regulations And Unfair trading The Yamassee Then Moved
To The Carolinas And Became Valuable Allies Of The British They
Traded With Them And Worked With Them, They Even Fought
Alongside The British Against The Tuscaroras Native American
Tribe, Their Long Time Enemy. After The War Of 1711-1713 A.D.,
Which Was A Result Of The british Invasion On Tuscarora land,
The british Turned On The Yamassee who Aided Them In The
Massacring Of Most Of Their Long Time Enemy Just As The Spanisn
Did. They Cheated Them By Taking The Land And Never Pay For It.
The British Forced The Yamassee At Gunpoint To Help Carry Trade
Goods Throughout The Wilderness. This Insulted The Yamassee, Yet
The Worst Of The Acts Against The Yamassee Came When The British
Gave The Yamassee All Rum Plus Pay, The Yamassee Asked For More
Time To Pay The Debts, The british Refused And Seized The
Yamassee Wives And Chrildren For The Slave Market. In
Retaliation, The Yamassee Gather Their Relatives, Neighboring
Tribes Of Apalachees, Choctaw, Chickasaw, All Tribes Of The
Creek Nation, The Catawbas, And The Cherokees Who Also Was
Related To The Yamassee, Also Joined The Yamassee In What Is
Referred As The Yamassee Uprising.
The First People To Live In What Is Now Georgia
Were Prehistoric Native Americans Called Mound Builders, The
Yamassee, Who Are An Offshoot Of The Washita. Before
Europeans Came To The Region, The Creek Native Americans
Settled In The South And The Cherokee In The North.
Our Ancestors, Respectfully Called The Ancient Ones Who
Originally Named Ourselves Nuwaubians Are Dated Back In America,
10,000 Years. So We Intentionally Moved To Eatonton Georgia To
Get Closer To Our Ancestors, Being Descendents Of The Yamassee. |
