What we think of as the antebellum or Deep South was built on the land Southern lawmakers fought for and won in the Indian Removal Act. And in 1830, the South had an additional 21 votes in the House, because enslaved people—who of course could not vote—were counted toward Southern states’ representation. Without those 21 votes, the bill would have never passed.

FROM COLUMBUS TO PLYMOUTH ROCK, EUROPEANS KNOW THE STORIES of how they discovered this land. As Indigenous peoples we know the stories of how the land was formed, because that is how long we have been here.

I wrote this book because I believe the American public needs to understand that the legacy of colonization is not just a problem for Indigenous peoples, but a problem for our democracy. And, selfishly, I wrote this book because the story lived in my body and I needed it to come out.
