Which was a positive effect of westward expansion for Native Americans?

Answer
A
new trade and economic opportunities
B
greater representation in government
C
wider markets for their manufactured goods
D
less dependence on traditional food sources

Explanation

Westward expansion brought Native Americans into more contact with settlers and trading networks, creating some new opportunities to trade and earn income. The other choices describe benefits they generally did not gain: Native Americans had little political representation, did not gain broad markets for manufactured goods, and often faced increased—not reduced—disruption to traditional food sources.
