Question 1 • GJCC-OK-Oklahoma History

Which of these statements does not describe “assimilated” Cherokees?

Answer
A
Assimilated Cherokees spoke only in the Cherokee language.
B
Assimilated Cherokees usually wore Western-style clothes.
C
Assimilated Cherokees worked as plantation farmers.
D
Assimilated Cherokees often owned slaves.

Explanation

Assimilated Cherokees adopted many customs of white American society, including Western-style clothing, plantation farming, and, in some cases, owning enslaved people. They generally did not speak only Cherokee; many also spoke English, so the statement that they spoke only Cherokee does not describe them.
