The Organic Act of 1890 defined Oklahoma Territory and the boundaries of Indian Territory. What role did it play in deciding the fate of the State of Sequoyah?

The Organic Act of 1890 organized Oklahoma Territory but left Indian Territory without a formal territorial government or official recognition as a separate territory. That status made it harder for the proposed State of Sequoyah to gain recognition as a separate state; Congress later joined the two areas in creating Oklahoma. The correct choice is “The Organic Act did not formally recognize Indian Territory.”
