Questions: Westward Expansion Manifest Destiny Exam (Day 45) American History Section 9BC / Module 3: Westward Expansion Manifest Destiny (Days 31-45) 15. Which of the Five Civilized Tribes managed to stay on their tribal lands even after the Indian Removal Act was signed into law after 1832? O Muscogee O Seminole O Cherokee O Creek

The answer is Seminole.

The Muscogee (Creek) were among the tribes that were forcibly removed from their lands following the Indian Removal Act. They were relocated to what is now Oklahoma.

The Seminole were unique among the Five Civilized Tribes in that they managed to resist removal for a longer period. The Seminole Wars, particularly the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), were a series of conflicts in which the Seminole resisted U.S. government efforts to relocate them. Although many Seminole were eventually removed, a significant number managed to remain in Florida.

The Cherokee were forcibly removed from their lands in the southeastern United States, culminating in the infamous Trail of Tears, where thousands of Cherokee were relocated to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).

The Creek, like the Muscogee, were also removed from their lands and relocated to Indian Territory following the Indian Removal Act.
