About Christian Gottlieb Priber

  • Christian Gottlieb Priber (March 21, 1697 - 1744) was a German immigrant with legal training who immigrated to the British Colonies of North America with a vision of establishing a utopian commonwealth among Cherokee and other Native Americans living in the Southeast.
  • Viewed by the Cherokee as a "beloved man", Priber fell afoul of the ruling British for his vision against the envisioned commonwealth holding private property, and his support for their providing sanctuary to runaway slaves and debtors.
  • After the colonial authorities demanded his surrender, British-allied Creeks captured him in 1743, and he died during his imprisoned by the British in Frederica, Georgia.
