  • Choctaw and Creek Removals
    Chapter 6 Choctaw and Creek Removals The idea of indian removal as a government obligation first reared its head in 1802 when officials of the state of Georgia made an agreement with federal government officials. In the Georgia Compact, the state of Georgia gave up its claims to territorial lands west of that state in exchange for $1,250,000 and a promise that the federal government would abolish Indian title to Georgia lands as soon as possible. How seriously the government took its obligation to Georgia at the time of the agreement is unknown. The following year, however, the Louisiana Purchase was made, and almost immedi- ately, the trans-Mississippi area was seen by some as the answer to “The Indian Problem.” Not everyone agreed. Some congress- men argued that removal to the West was impractical because of land-hungry whites who could not be restrained from crossing the mighty river to obtain land. Although their conclusion was correct, it was probably made more in opposition to President Jefferson than from any real con- cern about the Indians or about practicality. Although some offers were made by government officials to officials of various tribes, little Pushmataha, Choctaw was done about removing the southeastern tribes before the War of 1812. warrior During that war several Indian tribes supported the British. After the war ended, many whites demanded that tribal lands be confiscated by Removals 67 the government as punishment for Indians’ treasonous activities. Many Americans included all tribes in their confiscationdemands , evidently feeling that all Indians were guilty, despite the fact that many tribes did not participate in the war.

  • The Mississippi Choctaw and Racial Politics
    The Mississippi Choctaw and Racial Politics In December of 1912, Mississippi Representative Pat Harrison stood before Congress and made an impassioned speech on behalf of the Choctaw Indians living in his district along the Gulf Coast. In a heavily edited version of the past, Harrison announced, “Mr. Chairman, the Choctaw Indians always stood with the white men of the South.”1 These Indians were the descendants of those who had remained in Mississippi when the Choctaw Nation ceded its territory in Mississippi, and the majority of Choctaws moved to Indian Territory, today Oklahoma, in the 1830s. Left landless, most Choctaws had withdrawn into isolated, poverty-stricken ethnic enclaves where virtually all survived as sharecroppers and low-paid day laborers. While the Choctaws were not officially classified under the segregation statutes as “colored,” they nonetheless suffered discrimination because of customary racial segregation. They had no access to “white” schools or other facilities. Yet Harrison and the Mississippi congressional delegation, all ardent supporters of segregation, were seeking redress for the injustice the Indians had suffered in the removal era and more recently when the United States closed the roll of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma, excluding most Mississippi Choctaws from the benefits stemming from Choctaw Nation citizenship. Their support of the Choctaws puts an interesting kink in the state’s racial politics. 1 The efforts of the congressmen reflected how the Choctaws’ relationship to Mississippi politicians had changed: in the nineteenth century, politicians had answered the Indians’ cries for justice with renewed attempts to hound them out of the state. The willingness of Mississippi’s civic leaders to carry the Choctaws’ banner in the early twentieth century raises significant questions.

    SLAVES AND SLAVEHOLDERS IN THE CHOCTAW NATION: 1830-1866 Jeffrey L. Fortney , Jr., B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2009 APPROVED: D. Harland Haglen, Major Professor Randolph Campbell, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Michael Monticino, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Fortney Jr., Jeffrey L. Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2009, 71 pp., 5 tables, 4 figures, bibliography, 46 titles. Racial slavery was a critical element in the cultural development of the Choctaws and was a derivative of the peculiar institution in southern states. The idea of genial and hospitable slave owners can no more be conclusively demonstrated for the Choctaws than for the antebellum South. The participation of Choctaws in the Civil War and formal alliance with the Confederacy was dominantly influenced by the slaveholding and a connection with southern identity, but was also influenced by financial concerns and an inability to remain neutral than a protection of the peculiar institution. Had the Civil War not taken place, the rate of Choctaw slave ownership possibly would have reached the level of southern states and the Choctaws would be considered part of the South.

  • Indian Removal Map Activity Indian Removal Map Activity
    Indian Removal Map Activity Indian Removal Map Activity Background: In 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, which gave president Andrew Jackson authority to negotiate removal terms with tribes of the American South. The biggest tribes (who had already lost much of their lands) were called the Five Civilized Tribes, including the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole. Indian Removal Map Activity Background: The act was strongly supported by non-natives, many of whom wanted to settle on native lands. The idea that whites should populate the continent is called manifest destiny. Some Americans opposed the law, including many Christian missionaries who recognized the act as unfair and unjust. Indian Removal Map Activity Background: Much of the populations of these tribes were forced to move to Indian Territory in what became Oklahoma. Many natives died along the way in what became known as the Trail of Tears.
