Oklahoma Academic Standard 4. The student will analyze the formation of constitutional government in Oklahoma.
|
Objective 4.2 Describe the proposal for an all-black state advocated by Edward McCabe.
|
In a Nutshell
|
Many former slaves viewed Indian Territory as a new beginning following the Civil War. These Exodusters, most of whom had migrated from Kansas, viewed Indian Territory as an opportunity to create their own state. Students should evaluate the efforts of E.P. McCabe, an African American leader who petitioned for Indian Territory to become an all-black state.
