    Oklahoma surprised me. I always associated it with Southern slave states for some reason.

    It also though just kind of doesn’t feel right that they colored the states like people

    Some Indian tribes (cherokees more famously) had slaves, and these have fought to be recognised part of the tribe.

    *American Indians brought their slaves to the west in the 1830s and 1840s when the federal government removed the nations from the southern states. The Cherokee, with more than fifteen hundred, had the largest number. Enslaved persons removed with the other nations ranged from approximately three hundred in the Creek Nation to more than twelve hundred in the Chickasaw Nation. When the Civil War erupted in 1861, more than eight thousand Black men and women were enslaved in Indian Territory.* ***They comprised 14 percent of the population****. Slavery continued in the territory through the Civil War, after which the five nations legally abolished the practice.*
