Different bands of Creeks established towns in north Florida and traded with both the British and Spanish.

The Browns were part of a 1988 reenactment. The Cherokees were not the only indigenous people affected by the Indian Removal law and the decade of dispossession that followed.

“The Golden Days”: Taylor and Mary Ealy, Citizenship, and the Freedmen of Chickasaw Indian Territory, 1874–77
THE CHRONICLES OF OKLAHOMA “The Golden Days”: Taylor and Mary Ealy, Citizenship, and the Freedmen of Chickasaw Indian Territory, 1874–77 By Ellen Cain* On a Monday morning in fall 1874, twenty-six-year- old Taylor Ealy felt despondent. He had recently completed an ambi- tious educational program that included college, seminary, and medi- cal school, yet he was confused about the direction of his future. He longed for the bold, adventurous life of a Presbyterian missionary, not the tame existence he now led as a Pennsylvania preacher. Ealy went to his room on that Monday morning, dropped to his knees, and prayed, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do—send me anywhere. Show me my work.” The answer came swiftly, the very same day, Ealy received a letter asking him to appear before the Northern Presbyterian Freed- men’s Bureau in Pittsburgh. When he arrived, the secretary of the bureau offered him a choice: to teach at a nearby theological seminary or at a government school for freedmen at Fort Arbuckle, Chickasaw Indian Territory (present-day south-central Oklahoma). Ealy knew immediately that he wanted the more challenging position in the West. 54 “THE GOLDEN DAYS” “I said I will take the harder field. I looked upon this as a direct answer to my prayer.”1 So it was that Taylor Ealy and his new bride, Mary Ramsey, set out for Indian Territory in October 1874. The Ealys carried with them a sincere and enthusiastic desire to aid the recently freed black slaves of the Chickasaw Nation. They labored in Indian Territory—a land of former Confederates—during the last years of Reconstruction. -
