Question 9 • LHS Oklahoma History

Which of these actions was not taken by the state of Georgia after the passage of the Indian Removal Act?

Answer
A
requiring settlers and missionaries to sign oaths of allegiance to Georgia
B
passing laws that recognized the sovereignty of the Cherokee
C
placing Cherokee land under the authority of Georgia law
D
selling lottery tickets to allow settlers to buy Cherokee land

Explanation

Georgia did not recognize Cherokee sovereignty. Instead, the state extended its laws over Cherokee territory, required settlers and missionaries living there to swear allegiance to Georgia, and used lotteries to distribute Cherokee land to settlers. Therefore, passing laws that recognized Cherokee sovereignty was not an action Georgia took.
