“I never give a sucker an even break” means that they take advantage of fools at every opportunity. This is the motto of a con man, that is, someone whose profession is tricking people.

If you conform, you will be free. I took my kids to New Echota a few years ago. It was the capital of the Cherokee Nation in what is now Georgia. The Cherokee were told that white Americans weren’t racists, but merely disliked the Cherokee because they were different. So, the Cherokee build a capital complete with a printing press, buildings, language, clothes, etc. This lasted a few years and then they were rounded up and force marched out west. We all know about the Trail of Tears. Their land was taken by white settlers in a land lottery which stated its purpose: “to strengthen the state and increase population in order to increase Georgia’s power in the House of Representatives”.
