요약This dissertation presents a new political and economic history of the Cherokee Nation following the twin disasters of the Trail of Tears and the United States Civil War. I argue that Cherokee nationalists built a viable government in the last third of the nineteenth century, one capable not just of managing settler colonialism but also of profiting from it.This conclusion challenges the declension narrative that dominates Native American historiography of the late nineteenth century. For Cherokees, that declension narrative has been articulated by Morris Wardell, William McLoughlin, and others who argue forcefully that Native governments couldn't survive, let alone thrive, in a crushing settler colonial context. Thus, in 1897, when the federal government started denationalization-unilaterally stripping the Cherokee government of its sovereign powers-it was merely an ultimate step in a decades-long history of national decline and political dysfunction.This dissertation, "Phoenix on Fire: The Cherokee Nation from Reconstruction to Denationalization," recovers a period of dynamic political experimentation between 1866 and 1906. Starting with the Cherokee government's approach to its own Reconstruction, I explain how the nation's politics swung wildly from centrism (1866 to 1875) to radical traditionalism (1875 to 1879) and from liberalism (1879 to 1890) to anti-statism (1890-1898).After Reconstruction, which resulted in a self-inflicted economic catastrophe, voters embraced a pro-development economic liberalism. Their leaders intentionally opened the country to foreign workers who were registered and required to pay a small monthly tax to work for Cherokee citizens. The Cherokee made immigrants out of would-be colonizers. The ensuing boom period, what I call the "Liberal Decade," has been ignored by scholars of Cherokee history.I also demonstrate that denationalization should be considered integral to the story of U.S. overseas imperialism. These were directly overlapping processes, led and opposed by many of the same figures. Both U.S. lawmakers and Cherokee nationalists compared the processes explicitly. In the words of one Cherokee nationalist, "the little Cherokee republic was an easy delicious morsel" that came immediately before the feast on Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines-though China was "too big a bug for convenient swallowing." U.S. Continental and extra-continental imperialism have more in common than historians have supposed.
