Question

what was the historical significance of the treaty of holston?

it secured the unconstitutional surrender of the loyalist militia on the tennessee frontier in 1780.

it settled the dispute between tennessee and north carolina regarding the border between the two states.

it led to the settlement of territory west of the mississippi river.

it established a peaceful relationship between the cherokee and the u.s. government in 1792.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Holston, signed in 1792, was an agreement between the U.S. government and the Cherokee Nation. Its core purpose was to establish peaceful relations, set boundaries, and regulate interactions between the two parties. The other options are incorrect: the 1780 Loyalist surrender is unrelated, it did not settle a Tennessee-North Carolina border dispute, and it focused on lands east of the Mississippi, not west.

Answer:

D. It established a peaceful relationship between the Cherokee and the U.S. government in 1792.
