Indigenous Histories of the American South during the Long Nineteenth Century

Native Southerners lived in vibrant societies, rich in tradition and cultural sophistication, for thousands of years before the arrival of European colonization in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Over the ensuing centuries, Native Southerners adapted to the presence of Europeans, endeavouring to incorporate them into their social, cultural, and economic structures. However, by the end of the American Revolutionary War, Indigenous communities in the American South found themselves fighting for their survival. This collection chronicles those fights, revealing how Native Southerners grappled with colonial legal and political pressure; discussing how Indigenous leaders navigated the politics of forced removal; and showing the enduring strength of Native Americans who evaded removal and remained in the South to rebuild communities during the latter half of the nineteenth century.

This book was originally published as a special issue of American Nineteenth Century History.

Gregory D. Smithers is Professor of History at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA. He specializes in the history of Native Americans in the American South. His most recent book is The Cherokee Diaspora: An Indigenous History of Migration, Resettlement, and Identity (2015).

INTRODUCTION

Indigenous histories of the American South during the long nineteenth century

Gregory D. Smithers

Over the past generation, an impressive body of scholarship has drawn scholarly attention to the Native South. Ethnohistorians have been at the forefront of efforts to reevaluate Native American political, social, and cultural history in what is today the Southeastern United States. As a result of this scholarly attention, a still growing historiography that highlights the dynamism of life in the Native South between the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries continues to expand.

This special issue of American Nineteenth Century History builds on recent historical research and showcases some of the best and most innovative historical scholarship currently being written about the late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Native South. As the following essays reveal, historians of the Native South continue to develop our collective historical understanding of how social and cultural relations in the Native South changed during the long nineteenth century, of how critically important concepts such as land and sovereignty were contested by Native and settler governments, and how changing commercial and economic activities contributed to alterations in the collective identities of Native American communities.
