1887The Dawes General Allotment Act was enacted by the U.S. Congress regarding the distribution of land to Native Americans in Indian Territory
(later Oklahoma). It was signed into law February 8, 1887. Named after its sponsor,
U.S. Senator Henry L. Dawes of Massachusetts, the act was amended in 1891 and again in 1906
by the Burke Act. The act remained in effect until 1934. The act provided for the division of
tribally held lands into individually-owned parcels and opening "surplus" lands to
settlement by non-Indians and development by railroads

BALTIMORE CRISIS1891
The Baltimore Crisis was a diplomatic incident that took place between Chile and the United States of America as the result of growing US influence in the South Coast of the Pacific in the 1890s. It remains a nodal event because it marked a dramatic shift in United States-Chile relations. It was triggered by the stabbing of two US sailors in the "True Blue Saloon" in Valparaíso on 16. October 1891.

FLORIDA A & M Land Grant School 1891
-grant colleges or land grant institutions) are institutions of higher education in the United States designated by each state to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The Morrill Acts funded educational institutions by granting federally controlled land to the states for the states to develop or sell to raise funds to establish and endow "land grant" colleges. The mission of these institutions as set forth in the 1862 Act is to focus on the teaching of agriculture, science and engineering as a response to the industrial revolution and changing social class rather than higher education's historic core of classical studies.
