The conventional idea is that Georgia did not succeed at its intentions is challenged by the interpretations of Noeleen McIlvenna, who wrote The Short Life of Free Georgia, a contradictory story of the colonization of the thirteenth colony.

Having ratified the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1821, the United States officially purchased Florida from Spain. Taking control, American officials concluded the Treaty of Moultrie Creek two years later which established a large reservation in central Florida for the Seminoles. By 1827, the majority of the Seminoles had moved to the reservation and Fort King (Ocala) was constructed nearby under the guidance of Colonel Duncan L. Clinch. Though the next five years were largely peaceful, some began to call for the Seminoles to be relocated west of the Mississippi River. This was partially driven by issues revolving around the Seminoles providing sanctuary for escaped slaves.
Myths of the Cherokee, by James Mooney, is packed with wonderful Cherokee folklore tales.

As more and more White people migrated into Cherokee land, the Cherokees became dependent on trade good, such as knives and hoes made of metal, hatchets, kettles, bolts of cloth, rum, firearms and ammunitions. Guns replaced bows as the primary weapon used for hunting and warfare as the Cherokees moved from subsistence hunting to commercial hunting. Women spent more time than before preparing hides for the deer skin trade.
