You should have bothered to read the article. Native Americans were the only ones forced to comply with Sherman's field order #15 (40 acres and a mule). Had that been required of the whites in southern states, there would have been many thriving communities of color in the south.

Black wealth grew because we worked together. We were all we had. Whites didn’t do business with us and that was actually what helped us prosper. If we’re honest, integrating before things became equal was a HUGE mistake.

I wrote a long article about that, covering the history of Greenwood from the 50s & 60s. https://www.tulsapeople.com/city-desk/greenwood-renewal/article_38e34090-9180-11eb-ae36-3b9dd087cfd7.html … It wasn't the policies that were bad, it was the way they were implemented. To your point, the Black community did not have the political power to fight for equality.

Had to reread a few times to realize that the Black people were not enslaved by the Native American nations, but instead they were granted the land by the generous and compassionate Native American nations.

What did you read? Many passages in the article point to the fact that Native American tribes owned slaves. The federal government forced Native American tribes to give land to the slaves they had owned and that land ownership became the foundation for Black Wall Street.pic.twitter.com/5PgYMr99CF
