The correct answer is D. The Battle of Chusto-Talasah began as a result of the Confederacy's pursuit of American Indian refugees.

Explanation:

The Battle of Chusto-Talasah took place on December 9, 1861 in Tulsa County, Oklahoma during the Civil War, between the Confederates led by Colonel Douglas H. Cooper and the Indians led by chief Opothleyahola. The Cherokee and the Seminole supported the Northern government.

After the Battle of Round Mountain, Opothleyahola had retreated northeast. On December 9, 1861, he had arrived at Chusto-Talasah near the Horseshoe Bend of Bird Creek. Opothleyahola had noticed that Cooper was on his way with a 1300 strong unit to defeat him. That is why Opothleyahola had positioned his Indians in a strong defensive position near Horseshoe Bend.

Cooper attacked the fortified position several times during the next 4 hours. Just before darkness fell, he managed to expel the Indians. Cooper decided not to pursue the chase. The Southern people had too little ammunition. Chief Opothleyahola moved on to look for safer places. He had lost 500 men against 15 dead and 37 wounded for the Southern.
