The Chickasaws ceded their lands north of the Tennessee River primarily due to pressure from the U.S. government and encroaching white settlers seeking land for agriculture and expansion. Treaties, such as the Treaty of Pontotoc Creek in 1832, were often made under duress, leading to loss of territory. Additionally, the promise of compensation and the desire for better living conditions influenced their decision to relinquish these lands. Ultimately, these factors contributed to their forced removal and displacement.
