The Anglo-American hunger for Indian lands was the other event that happened in the United States at this time which influenced the support for the Dawes Act.

<h3>What was the Dawes Act?</h3>

It was a federal legislation that was passed to turn the Native Americans into farmers and landowners by providing cooperating families with 160 acres of reservation land for farming or 320 acres for grazing.

As it was intended to give the Native American family head 320 acres of grazing land or 160 acres of farmland, it also have some aims that includes:

allotment of land
vocational training
education
divine intervention.

The promised acreages were comparable to those promised by the Homestead Act but there were important differences between the two acts.

Here, the Native tribes already controlled the land that was being returned to them at a fraction of the acreage, but they were not accustomed to a life of standardized ranching and agriculture and the lands allotted to them were often unsuitable for farming.
