Question 8 • 670101 Oklahoma History & Government – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which of the following actions is not an example of how the federal government enticed tribes to agree to removal?

Answer
A
encouraging tribes to stay in their homeland to preserve their culture
B
offering the tribes money to pay off debts
C
giving the tribes Western lands in exchange for their old homelands
D
telling tribes that the West was their best option for survival

Explanation

The federal government tried to persuade tribes to relocate by offering payments to settle debts and promising land in the West in exchange for their homelands. Officials also argued that moving west was the tribes’ best chance to survive. Encouraging tribes to remain in their homelands to preserve their culture was not an enticement to agree to removal, so the correct choice is A, “encouraging tribes to stay in their homeland to preserve their culture.”
