OKLAHOMA: all plantation/ workplaces in the state
- Oklahoma became a State in 1907 (about 40 years after Emancipation). Prior to 1907, Oklahoma was designated “Indian Territory” by the U.S. government. Thousands of Native Americans were removed from their homelands in the southern states by several treaties and the Congressional Indian Removal Act of 1830.
