Did you know Europeans introduced the practice of scalping in America? Did you know that, for a time, the British offered generous payments in silver for Native American skins? Andrew Jackson and Cherokee leader, Major Ridge had a complicated relationship, but they had one thing in common-a bitter hatred toward the British. Did you know that Ridge and his men won the battle against the Red Sticks at Horseshoe Bend and that was the beginning of his friendship with Jackson?
