	Mushulatubbee and Choctow Removal Choctaw Removal:
		In the winter of 1830, Choctaws began migrating to Indian Territory (later Oklahoma) along the trail of tears.” The westward migrations continued over the following decades, and Indians remaining in Mississippi were forced to relinquish their communal land-holdings in return for small individually owned allotments.
		Non-Indians rushed into the former Choctaw lands in Mississippi after 1830, producing the era often referred to in Mississippi history as the “flush times.” Removal was a complicated process that found Indians and Euro-Americans on both sides of the fence: some people of both groups opposed removal, while others supported it.
		Beginning with the 1816 treaty between the Choctaws and the United States, Mushulatubbee was a signatory to land cessions that brought him gifts from the Americans.
