Cherokee, like many other Native American's were susceptible to a variety of diseases carried by people from Europe; the unclean living standards practiced by that society is rife for disease. There has been documented proof that the European Settlers (White Americans) Intentionally spread the most fatal forms of smallpox among the Cherokee by giving them blankets from smallpox hospitals. This fatal form kills in 6 to 16 days with a 90% fatality rate.
