b. the Choctaw group and the Creeks
c. the Creeks and the Shawnee people
d. the Delaware people and the Choctaw group

Answer 1

a. the Shawnee and Delaware peoples

In the Upper Ohio River valley, the Shawnee and Delaware peoples, driven west by land-hungry Pennsylvania settlers and their Iroquois allies, establish new villages in the land between the French-allied native groups of the Great Lakes region in England’s Middle Colonies. Farther southwest, the Choctaw group formed in present-day Mississippi, within the orbit of French Louisiana. In the southeastern quadrant of the territory, the Creeks and Cherokee emerged in the 18th century as new and powerful multiethnic groups.
