**Kanagagota Atagulkalu** was a Cherokee Indian, he is the ancestor of Degotoga Atagulkalu, Adsila Ahyoka and Unega Ahyoka.

Kanagagota was victimized by **President, Andrew Jackson**'s racism, if you look at the trail of tears, Kanagagota hated the President so badly and he rejoiced Jackson's death in 1845 and he was victimized by the Manifesto Destiny.

Kanagagota was being forced by whites tobe assimilated into European Culture, but he hit that white person with his hammer on his head, he died with that tragedy, Kanagagota had 10 children, all 8 of them are unknown because they left when they were older and were never seen again, but they're names are bestly known

Kanagagota was in his 40s when the American Civil War began and fought with the Cherokee Braves, but when the Confederacy lost the war in 1865, he regarded the Confederates as weak, stupid, coward, embarrassing to themselves because they got their butts kicked by the Union Forces, which caused Kanagagota to give up his arms to the Confederates and told them that he does not want tobe apart of this anymore.

Kanagagota is best well known by Charles B. Forrest, and Forrest also know his great-great grandson, Degotoga Atagulkalu, and Degotoga and Charles do have a good relationship, but Charles jokes at Degotoga about his ancestors being forced out of his land, which always offends Degotoga, and Degotoga gets back at Charles by jokingly calling the Confederates Racist.

Kanagagota was the friend of the Ancestor of Charles B Forrest, Robert Monte Thomas, a Confederate Soldier and Kanagagota has became the biggest icon of the families of Adsila, Degotoga and others.
