Question 16 • LHS Oklahoma History

Which of the following was not one of the Cherokee’s land cession requirements after the signing of the Reconstruction Treaties?

Answer
A
to allow several tribes to settle part of the Cherokee Outlet
B
to cede lands in southeast Kansas back to the US government
C
to give all Cherokee land to the Creek and Seminole
D
to allow the Cherokee Strip and other lands to be sold at auction

Explanation

The Cherokee retained their own territory after the Reconstruction Treaties; they did not give all their land to the Creek and Seminole. The treaties did require land cessions and opened parts of Cherokee territory, including the Outlet, for other tribes to settle or for sale. So the claim that all Cherokee land went to the Creek and Seminole was not a requirement.
