Wallace\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese rolls were created because the Cherokee citizenship of many ex-slaves of the Cherokee in Indian Territory was disputed by the Cherokee tribe. The establishment of their status was important in determining their right to live on Cherokee land and to share in certain annuity and other payment, including a special $75,000 award voted by Congress on October 19, 1888. A series of investigations was conducted in order to compile the rolls of the Cherokee Freedmen. These investigations were conducted by John W. Wallace, 1889-1890; Leo E. Bennett, 1891-92; Marcus D. Shelby, 1893; James G. Dickson, 1895-96; and William Clifton, William Thompson, and Robert H. Kern, 1896-97. This book provides genealogical evidence to descendants of slaves that lived among the Native lands and may aid them in obtaining citizenship with the Cherokee Nation if they can prove lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52768853819725,"sku":"9781544948928","price":30.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/aUYzVGFiVmY5SGJCOHNYUmd0TkF6dz09.webp?v=1763063452","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/wallace-rolls-of-cherokee-freedmen-in-indian-territory-relating-to-cherokee-citizenship-1890-1896-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
