Homesteaders

Question 9 • CA-MS United States History and Geography: Growth and Conflict B

How did the arrival of homesteaders impact the American Indians of the Great Plains?

Answer
A
The American Indians were paid for their land and moved to urban areas.
B
The American Indians were pushed off their land and relocated to reservations.
C
The homesteaders hired American Indians to help them settle the land.
D
The homesteaders gave American Indians crops in return for their buffalo.

Explanation

As homesteaders claimed and settled land across the Great Plains, American Indians lost access to much of their traditional territory. The U.S. government forced many tribes from their lands and relocated them to reservations, so choice B is correct. They were not generally paid and moved to cities, nor did homesteaders simply hire them or exchange crops for buffalo.
