The assimilation of Native Americans was a goal of the Dawes General Allotment Act
Thus the correct answer is Option D
Explanation:
Dawes act is called General allotment which surveyed the American tribal lands and allotted specific piece of land to every American Household. It allowed Native Americans practice agriculture farming and to be self-reliant but there were many disadvantages of this land allotment act.
The land which was given was not fertile and mostly Native Americans sold their lands in order to lead their livelihood. Women were not given any rights to own the land and this led to selling it at the end.
It also paved way for the uprising of many communities in Native America and the culture got eroded.
The assimilation of Native Americans was a goal of the federal government.
During the late 1800's, the federal government had the goal of assimilating Native Americans into mainstream America. In this case, the government wanted Native Americans to act more like white farmers (which made up a majority of America). This resulted in several different laws and policies that would help enforce this idea. This includes the Dawes Act and the creation of Indian Boarding Schools.
Indian Boarding Schools were schools were Native American kids were sent to learn more about the English language, American culture, etc. Unfortunately, this system had many negative effects as it resulted in the destruction of some Native American cultures and languages.
