Also the ppl of Africatown, Alabama, have nothing to do historically with "Black Indians" in Oklahoma often and legally referred to as freedmen, descendants of people of African descent who were enslaved or allied with the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole). They moved to present-day Oklahoma during the forced removals along the Trail of Tears in the 1830s.
