1785 TREATY OF HOPEWELL On November 28 , 1785 , the Treaty of Hopewell was signed in Hopewell, South Carolina between the US Representative Benjamin Hawkins and the Cherokee Indians. The treaty laid out a Western boundary of settlement for the Colonials. The treaty gave rise to the sardonic Cherokee phrase of ''Talking Leaves'', since they claimed that when the treaties no longer suited the Americans, they would blow away like talking leaves. 1786 TREATY OF HOPEWELL - CHOCTAWS 1786 TREATY OF HOPEWELL - CHIKASAWS EXTERNAL LINKS |
