I think you're running a bit ahead of yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Civilized_Tribes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Civilized_Tribes: > Americans of European descent classified them as "civilized" because they had adopted attributes of the Anglo-American culture.[3] Examples of such colonial attributes adopted by these five tribes, included Christianity, centralized governments, literacy in English, market participation, written constitutions, intermarriage with white Americans, and chattel slavery practices, including purchase of enslaved African Americans.[4][5] For a period, the Five Civilized Tribes tended to maintain stable political relations with the European Americans, before the United States promoted Indian Removal of these tribes from the Southeast.
