  • 9 the British Alliance of 1812–14
    9 The British Alliance of 1812–14 Chapter Outline This chapter examines the War of 1812 and, in particular, the role that Tecumseh had in this event. By the early 1800s, the intentions of the Americans were clear. The Americans were expanding, and it would be to the west where they would seek land. The War of 1812 can be viewed as a continu- ance of the American War of Independence, as this inconclusive war had left unresolved several im- portant matters, such as those relating to Indigenous Peoples and their lands. In a similar fashion to Obwandiyag, Tecumseh, a part-Shawnee and part-Cree leader, rose to the forefront as an advocate for a pan-Indigenous movement. Like Obwandiyag, Tecumseh was linked to a prophet. Tenskwa- tawa was known as the Shawnee Prophet and happened to be Tecumseh’s brother. Tenskwatawa argued that no particular tribe had the right to give up land as its own. Tecumseh had a particular disdain for Americans as both his father and brother were killed in US frontier wars. He chose to side with the British not because he favoured them but rather because he saw them as the lesser of two evils. Tecumseh challenged the cessions of lands that the Americans were obtaining, particularly those claimed in Indiana Territory. Throughout 1812 to 1813, Tecumseh led Indigenous forces to victory af- ter victory over the Americans. Tecumseh eventually met his demise at Moraviantown where, unsup- ported by British troops that had been promised, he was killed in October 1813. The death of Tecum- seh had immediate impacts since no leader could fill his role as a catalyst for a pan-Indigenous move- ment.

  • Chapter 9: Historic Preservation
    CHAPTER 9: HISTORIC PRESERVATION 9.1 Auburn Historic Preservation Commission he City of Auburn has a rich and diverse history. Organized efforts to preserve locally significant historic and cultural resources allow the City to recognize and protect its past, while T simultaneously planning for future development and growth. Preservation planning, or a lack thereof, can have a significant impact not only on aesthetic appearance, but on the unique sense of place created by a community. The Auburn Historic Preservation Commission (AHPC), the City’s governing body concerning issues of preservation, was created on March 2, 1999 with the passage of Ordinance 1818 by City Council. The Commission is comprised of seven members, and is intended to meet several essential needs. For the community, it assures that Auburn’s historic resources are maintained in a manner appropriate to the City’s heritage. For property owners, residents and contractors, it provides primary guidance in the planning and design of projects that are sympathetic to the special character of the historic district; and that will, in turn, assure that property values are maintained and enhanced. 9.2 North College Historic District On June 21, 2005 the City Council passed Ordinance 2302, which gave the AHPC the task of recommending designation of historic districts and properties in the city. These recommendations are presented to the Council, which then reviews them for final action. The City’s first locally designated district, the North College Historic District, contains 37 parcels north of downtown Auburn and was officially designated by Ordinance 2377 on March 21, 2006. All of the properties in the North College Historic District lie within the boundaries of the Old Main and Church Street District, a National Register of His toric Places District designated in 1978.

    HISTORY OF CHEROKEE COUNTY, ALABAMA part 1 In 1836 they saw Halley's Comet, Texans fighting Santa Ana at the Alamo, the first Colt revolver, and the invention of the phosphorous match. Andrew Jackson was President. The Alabama state capitol was in Tuscaloosa, and ... on January 9, 1836 Cherokee County, Alabama was created by the state legislature. THE EARLY INHABITANTS The Cherokee Indians inhabited an area which included what is now north Alabama, north Georgia, a large part of Tennessee and eastern North Carolina. In Cherokee County, Alabama, at a city on the Coosa River (near the present day city of Cedar Bluff), DeSoto first met with the Cherokees in 1540. He camped at McCoy's Island for 30 days, and fought a skirmish with indians at Seven Springs. Many believe a site in Cherokee County was the site of the legendary Cherokee Indian town of Coosa. In 1816, in Turkey Town, Andrew Jackson met with representatives of the Cherokee, Creek and Chickasaw nations to settle the peace ratify a treaty to establish territorial boundaries. Among early Cherokee visitors to this area were Major Ridge, John Ridge, Elias Boudinot, John Ross, Double Head, Tarkagee, and Pathkiller. Pathkiller operated a ferry on the Coosa River near present day Centre, Alabama. The Cherokees had, in the first three decades of the 19th century, become a strong agrarian society, cultivating land, raising grain and livestock. They had built homes and schools. They fought with Andrew Jackson at Horseshoe Bend against the Creeks in 1814, and had established themselves as valuable allies to the white settlers.
