Poster

The Dawes Act of 1887 (also known as the General Allotment Act or the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887),[1][2] authorized the President of the United States to survey Native American tribal land and divide it into allotments for individual Native Americans. Those who accepted allotments and lived separately from the tribe would be granted United States citizenship. The Dawes Act was amended in 1891, in 1898 by the Curtis Act, and again in 1906 by the Burke Act.

Why are banks important to the U.S. economy and how do government actions affect how banks operate?
lys-0071 [83]
The banking system is crucial for the functioning of the US economy because they make loans and create credit. Without loans many people wouldn't be able to buy a house or a car, and the economy would collapse. Government regulates the banks to make sure they are being fair to their clients.
