I have done the white people all the harm I could; I have fought them, and fought them bravely: if I had an army, I would yet fight, and contend to the last: but I have none; my people are all gone. I can now do no more than weep over the misfortunes of my nation.” Jackson marveled at this heroic mati. He could not help but feel deep admiration for such a great leader.
