Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the presidency of Mirabeau Lamar, the Texas Rangers used terror tactics to drive Indians from Texas. Lamar's policy was to remove all Native Americans from Texas and move them to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. The Texas Rangers were instrumental in carrying out this policy by launching devastating attacks on Native American villages and settlements. This led to a series of conflicts between the Texas Rangers and various Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, Comanche, and Kiowa.
