A: There was less land available to American Indians

After the Civil War, many tribes were being relocated to Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma) as part of the Indian Removal Act. However, due to the influx of tribes being relocated and the limited amount of available land in Indian Territory, it was difficult to accommodate all the tribes in the designated area. This shortage of land made it challenging to successfully relocate all the tribes in a timely and efficient manner.
