Freedmen?

Many Muscogee Creeks remained neutral during the Civil War (under Opothle Yahola), while others fought from the Union and the Confederacy. The Creek traditionalists formed the Four Mother's Society which was anti-confederacy. Thlopthlocco is an extremely traditional community; are there citations for these individuals even owning slaves? Cherokee disenrollment is irrelevant to this tribe; and generalized statements about gambling interests are irrelevant. TTT hasn't disenrolled any members since opening their gaming operations. -Uyvsdi (talk) 19:04, 20 July 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]

I found relevant info w/ refs to add. Other info that's not specific to TTT could be added to the Muscogee people article. -Uyvsdi (talk) 19:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi|Uyvsdi]][reply]

Thanks for your additions and cites - sorry for my additions; usually I don't work backwards like this - added data as mental "markers" while doing more research on the Creek Freedmen issue. Had been reading quite a lot about the larger nation issues and those of the Cherokee Freedmen a while ago. This all started when I was reading the article about the county seat and trying to understand what was going on in land transactions; it's very confusing, apparently about the period of the Dawes Commission.Parkwells (talk) 23:18, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Originally, I couldn't understand why you were putting this information on this article as opposed to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation page. The edits look good and definitely improve the article. Comparing one tribe to the other doesn't always work, and I believe the mainstream media has done a horrible job reporting on the Freedmens' history and political situation. Hopefully we can do better here. Cheers, -Uyvsdi (talk) 23:33, 20 July 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]
