Isaac McCoy [1784-1846] was a Baptist missionary to the American Indians. That is a nominal description of McCoy because he also aggressively pursued a state (or at least a sovereign territory) for Indians only. Although McCoy had personally discussed his ideas with titans like Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams there were myriad political interests that opposed his notion of an ''Indian state''. He was even pulled into the rawest issue of the time: slavery. Isaac McCoy fought for an ''Indian state'' until his death at age 62 in 1846. Isaac McCoy was not without controversy. He had a questionable role in a vigilante action against Mormons in Jackson County, Missouri, probably the largest vigilante action in the nation''s history. McCoy also allied himself with some hard businessmen in Jackson County because his large family was so poorly supported by his Board of Missions.
