Question

Which two statements are true about the members of the Creek tribe after the Civil War?

Answer 1

These two statements are true about the Creek Tribe after the Civil War:  

1)They focused on rebuilding and reestablishing schools and churches.

2)They wrote a new constitution to attempt to bring peace and unity to the tribe.

The Civil War was disastrous for the Creek Nation (also known as the Muscogee people), even though the majority of the tribe wished to be neutral. The first three battles of the war in Indian Territory happened when Confederate forces attacked a large and neutral band led by Opothle Yahola. Eventually, hundreds of Creek men fought on both the Union and Confederate sides. After the war ended, the reconstruction treaty of 1866 required the cession of approximately half of the Muscogee land , almost 3.2 million acres.

The Creek nation began a period of regeneration after the war. Public buildings, schools and churches were built, including the Creek National Capital building (1867) in Okmulgee, now the Creek Council House Museum, included in the National Register of Historic Places.In 1867, the Muscogee people adopted a written constitution, which provided for a Principal Chief and a Second Chief, a judicial branch, and two legislative chambers composed of a House of Kings (similar to the Senate) and a House of Warriors (similar to the House of Representatives.) Representation in both houses of this Legislative assembly was determined by each tribal town. A new capitol city was established the same year at Okmulgee. In 1878 the tribal government build a native stone Council House. Today, its serves as the Council House Museum in the center of the modern city of Okmulgee.

Answer 2

The two statements that are true about the members of the Creek tribe after the civil war are in first place that They focused on rebuilding and reestablishing schools and churches, and in second place They wrote a new constitution to attempt to bring peace and unity to the tribe, because the Creek Civil War (from 1813 to 1814) was a war where due to that the Upper Creeks weren't agree with the acceptation of the American encroachments in their lands, they decided to fight against the U.S militia and  the Lower Creeks (who accepted the Americans encroachments), which caused that the Upper Creeks were defeated at Horseshoe Bend, and as a result of that, they had to cede to the U.S more than 20 millions of acres. Whereby, time later in 1836 the Creeks were forced to be removed from their homeland and be relocated in the Indian Territory by the U.S Army, but a few Creek branches resisted, so it generated the Creek War of 1836, and then, when the other Creeks (who didn't resisted) arrived to Indian territory, they had to rebuild and reestablish their homes, buildings, churches and schools, to create a new government in their new capital (in Okmulgee) and also they decided to wrote a new constitution with the purpose to restart and bring peace and unity to all Creeks (the Uppers and the Lowers).
