Portions of the following paragraph, specifically the second and third sentences, seems to present a bias. I actually agree with the sentiment, however, as I understand the Wikipedia NPOV policy, an agreeable sentiment isn't the point.

In 1832 Georgia's Sixth Land Lottery had given away the Cherokee land to settlers. There was one small problem: the Cherokee Nation had never ceded the land to the state. Over the next 6 years the brutal Georgia Guard would enforce their own brand of vigilante justice to the Cherokee. By 1834 New Echota was becoming a ghost town, and the council meetings were moved to Red Clay, Cherokee Nation (now Tennessee). In May 1835, a small group (300-500 Cherokee known as Ridgeites or the Treaty Party) signed the Treaty of New Echota in the home of Elias Boudinot including Major Ridge, John Ridge, and Andrew Ross, brother of John Ross.

Does anyone else agree? I think portions of this could be rewritten. I am not that experiences with WP editing, especially not for this purpose. I could rewrite it, but I would first like to see if others believe this is necessary. Tlshd 19:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC) reply
