The correct answer is Oklahoma.

The removal of Native Americans from their homelands was due in large part to the Indian Removal Act passed by President Andrew Jackson. This resulted in many tribes such as the Choctaw, Cherokee, and Creek Indians moving from their home states east of the Mississippi River to present day Oklahoma. At this time, Oklahoma was still an unorganized territory with very little structure.
