Source needed for Ralph Waldo Emerson's account of Cherokee assimilation
Good afternoon, Oliviagross. I noticed that you made a great contribution on 26 March 2015 to Trail of Tears. You included the phrase "Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote an account of Cherokee assimilation into the American culture, declaring his support of the Worcester" and cited Alfred Cave's Abuse of Power: Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal Act of 1830 as a source. I could not find any mention of Emerson in that source. Because the sentence is incomplete, you might have accidentally forgotten to include the source for the Emerson claim. I have started a discussion on the talk page of Trail of Tears about this. Could you provide some clarification or a source? It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your expertise on this subject. Kind regards, Matt Heard (talk) 01:55, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
