Historian Kevin Kokomoor of Coastal Carolina University discusses his new book that recasts America’s founding moment by tracing the importance of westward ambition and settler violence to the origins of the Revolutionary War and uncovers the rarely acknowledged war waged by the emerging United States against the Cherokee people just days after the Declaration of Independence was signed. Dr. Kokomoor foregrounds Cherokee voices, motivations, and resilience, challenging the notion that they were merely pawns in a colonial struggle and forcing us to reckon with the real costs of independence and the long fight for Indigenous sovereignty.
