1839, June 3: A council to form a union between the Old Settlers (Chickamauga) and the Late Immigrants convenes at Double Springs. The council breaks up 16 days later without having reached an agreement when BROWN becomes too frustrated with ROSS’ refusal to agree about the matter, and ROSS’ insistence that the Old Settlers (Chickamauga) accept him as Principal Chief over the united Nation without an election. ROSS’ partisans blame John BROWN’s actions on the members of the Treaty Party, particularly those who had emigrated prior to the forced removal such as RIDGE and WATIE families.
