This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
What did Jefferson in his Declaration of Independence blame England for doing with Indians?
a. killing them
b. enlisting them to fight with the British against the Americans
c. enticing them to ally with the French government
d. encouraging them to join American patriot forces in the Borderlands
Answer:
Jefferson accused England of:
b. enlisting them to fight with the British against the Americans
Explanation:
<em>He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.</em>
According to the Declaration of Independence, Native Americans were approached by the British, who wanted them to fight against the Americans. By "he", the speaker is referring to King George III. As we can see in the excerpt above, Native Americans were portrayed as savages who made no distinction between men, women, and children, killing all people. However, it is important to note here that many Indian nations tried to stay out of the conflict.
