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

History

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 do economic barriers to trade impact countries that enact them? Select all that apply.
Schach [20]

Answer:

A by causing real median household incomes to decline

C by limiting consumer choice

Explanation:

Negative effects of trade barriers (protectionism) policies include the following:

- weakening competition in the domestic market, and, consequently, incentives to improve production decsrease;

- the welfare of the population is decreasing due the rise in price of imported goods and the relative high cost of domestic goods, the deterioration of the quality of domestic goods, and the restriction of the freedom of choice of consumers;

- the country will suffer large losses due to the non-use of the absolute and relative advantages of the international division of labor and exchange.

This is confirmed, in particular, by the fact that after the Second World War, the gradual removal of trade barriers, such as tariffs and quotas, stimulated growth and increased the level of welfare wherever this happened, partly due to the expansion of the choice of goods for the population at lower prices. More importantly, trade also had a powerful beneficial effect on productivity, that is, on the efficient use of world resources for the production of economic goods.
