How did some American Indian nations seek to assimilate into white American culture in the 1800s?

Some nations, including the Cherokee, adopted aspects of white Southern society to gain acceptance and protect their lands. They established cotton plantations and, in some cases, enslaved people. Moving onto reservations was generally imposed on Native nations, while abandoning all religious beliefs or educating white leaders was not the assimilation strategy described here. The correct choice is “They planted cotton and practiced slavery.”
