What were the major failings of the Dawes Act? (Site 1)

History
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Historian Eric Foner believed "the policy proved to be a disaster, leading to the loss of much tribal land and the erosion of Indian cultural traditions." The law often placed Indians on desert land unsuitable for agriculture, and it also failed to account for Indians who could not afford the cost of farming. In addition to scant payment, Native Americans were not used to spending money and quickly spent most of what they received. Many were left with little land and little money. Inheritance also became an issue for many Native Americans who enrolled to receive land from the Dawes Act. The assimilation policy of the Dawes Act failed because it didn't take into account the social and cultural differences between the Native Americans and the white settlers. Many others like the Kiowas didn't want to assimilate into white culture and as such resisted.

How has federalism impacted political parties?
dedylja [7]
There are a number of ways in which federalism affects many aspects of US government and politics. Here are a few important ways:
1) Variation in state laws concerning such matters as the age at which one can drive a car and must attend school.
2) Variations in penalties of law breaking from state to state.
3) Complexity of the American legal system, having both national and state courts.
4) Each state having not only its own laws and courts but also its own Constitution.
5) Complexity of the tax system: income tax (federal and state); state property taxes; local sales taxes.
6) State-based elections, run largely under state law.
7) The frequency and number of elections.
8) Political parties being decentralised and largely state-based.
<span>9) Regional diversity (the South, Midwest, Northeast etc.) and regional considerations when making appointments to, for example, the cabinet, or when 'balancing the ticket' in the presidential election.</span>
