Native Americans also held some of the farmlands in the Southeast United States. Several of these tribes had already begun to farm these lands and earnest and make them productive. Both states and settlers wanted to seize these agricultural lands from the Native Americans.

The tribes did not recognize the states authority over their lands, because they viewed themselves as independent nations.
