In 1835 at the time of the Removal on the Trail of Tears the Cherokee had about 1500 slaves of African descent. In 1840 about 300 of the elite Cherokee familes each owned 25-30 slaves. In 1860 before the start of the Civil War there were 4.600 slaves. There were 21,000 Cherokee at the time. About ten percent of the families owned slaves which was the same as white slave holders in the south. Of the slave holding families 78% claimed some white ancestory. In 1835 only three Cherokee owned more than 50 slaves. Joseph Vann had the most at 110.

No. It was against the law to teach a slave to read or write.
