This article emerged out of another Cherokee history talk page, concerning an article that has moved from Chickamauga (tribe) to Chickamauga wars to Cherokee-American wars, with a short-lived Second Cherokee War added to the mix.

Scholars currently discuss two Cherokee wars with the British in North America and with Continental rebels during the American Revolutionary War. The first, usually dated 1756-1761 (or 1758-1763), is called the Anglo-Cherokee War or First Cherokee War. The second, which hasn’t been covered yet on Wikipedia, is the Cherokee War of 1776, with an end date of either 1782 or 1794, although some writers end it as early as 1777.

These naming conventions are of fairly recent date. Deciding on beginning and ending dates for these wars is complicated because of a state of endemic conflict on the southern frontier, which peace treaties often failed to stop. Older histories of the region and period tended toward the triumphalist and are not very reliable.

I have begun on this article by putting together an annotated bibliography of Cherokee history at User:Alarob/Cherokee, which I hope will be broadly useful, and which anyone may consult or edit. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 17:12, 12 June 2014 (UTC) reply

It's worth noting the Anglo-Cherokee War is also within the period of conflicts related to the French and Indian War, or the Seven Years' War in North America. Parkwells ( talk) 20:02, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Thanks, Parkwells. My aim with this article is to cover the ways historians use the term "Cherkoee War of 1776."

I think it would make sense to have the article currently called Cherokee-American wars define the overall context while linking to Anglo-Cherokee War, this article, and others. But I am concerned about the title, which amounts to a coinage. I'm also having difficulty collaborating with Chuck Hamilton. I've asked for a third opinion and hope to get good advice.

Setting aside some library time in the coming week for this. Anything you can add in the meantime would be greatly appreciated. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 21:42, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
