Detailed explanation-1: -One of Mississippi’s and the United States’ most inhumane actions was the forced removal of American Indians from the South to lands west of the Mississippi River in the early 1800s. Removal occurred because of an incessant demand for Indian lands.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was agreed upon in September 1830 between representatives of the Choctaw Nation and the United States. It was the first treaty signed after the creation of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 to begin the removal of eastern Indians to the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River.
Detailed explanation-3: -After heated debate, President Andrew Jackson and the US Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, forcing the Choctaw and other tribes, to relinquish their homelands completely, and move westward. The act passed the House in May 1830, by only five votes.
Detailed explanation-4: -As one of the United States’ original first nations, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is the only Federally-recognized American Indian tribe living within the State of Mississippi. We have more than 11, 000 members strong. Our Choctaw lands cover over 35, 000 acres in ten different counties in Mississippi.
