Question

Why did the Chickasaw face a loss of identity when they were first removed to the Indian Territory?

A. They had no way of creating independent towns or trading posts.
B. They were expected to merge with the Choctaw.
C. They had no schools or forms of education.
D. They were forced to abandon ranching and farming.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B. "They were expected to merge with the Choctaw".

Step-by-step explanation:

The history of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma took a difficult turn for Chickasaw when they were outvoted on the Choctaw Council. The Chickasaw suffered a loss of identity since they expected to merge with the Choctaw. This unexpected result brought a struggle to establish a new political order in Chickasaw and their decision to definitely terminate their compact with the Choctaw.
