In the Walking Purchase, William Penn’s son

Answer
A
bought land from the Delaware Indians.
B
tricked the Delaware Indians out of land.
C
attacked a Delaware Indian village.

Explanation

In the Walking Purchase of 1737, William Penn’s son Thomas used a misleading agreement and a staged, unusually fast walk to claim far more land than the Delaware expected to sell. This deceived the Delaware Indians and forced them from the claimed territory. Therefore, the correct choice is “tricked the Delaware Indians out of land.”
