from which states were indians removed?

Answer 1

They were removed from all of the states east of the Mississippi River EXCEPT THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. The Penobscott Indians still live in Maine today and have a reservation there.

There are still a few Narangassets in Massachusetts too although many of them intermarried with White and Black Americans a long time ago and are not full-blooded Indian.

Most of the Indian tribes (Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws, Seminoles, Shawnee etc. were removed to the so-called "Indian Territory" which is the modern day state of Oklahoma between 1836 and 1838.

However, the Oneida Indians of northwestern New York were removed to Wisconsin between 1821 and 1845.

Most of the Mohawk Indians of upstate New York had fled to Canada with the British and American Loyalists during the American Revolution so they were not really involved in the removals.

There was a lot of opposition to removing Indians in New England. The white Americans who wanted the Indians removed the most were actually the Southern plantation owners.

Southern planters continually needed more land to grow cotton, rice and tobacco especially since people didn't know much about crop rotation or the use of fertilizers back in those days.

The land that Southern planters wanted and needed belonged primarily by the Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes.

The Indian tribes in states west of the Mississippi were more fortunate. They were able to get reservations on their ancestral lands instead. Very few of their members were uprooted and sent to Oklahoma.

A few thousand Seminoles held out against the U.S. Army in the Everglades of Southern Florida and never were removed to Oklahoma. A White man in North Carolina, sympathetic to the Cherokees, also prevented about 3,000 of them from being removed by purchasing some land in the Smoky Mountains and then giving it back to them as a reservation.

Answer 2

The Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole) were removed from the southeastern United States: Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and a few other states. They were sent to Indian Territory, i.e. Oklahoma, mostly during the 1830s.
