Native American Tribe series.Chickamauga
The name given to a band of Cherokee who espoused the English cause in the American Revolution and moved far down on Tennessee River, establishing new settlements on Chickamauga Creek, in the neighborhood of the present Chattanooga, Tennessee. Under this name they soon became noted for their uncompromising and never ceasing hostility. In 1782, their towns were destroyed by American Revolutionists, John Sevier and Henry Campbell. The Chickamauga then moved farther down the river, establishing what were afterward known as the "five lower towns." Here, they were continually recruited by Creek, Shawnee, and white Tories, until they were estimated to number a thousand warriors. They continued hostilities against Tennessee settlements until 1794, when their towns were again destroyed.
