The correct answer is option D.
After the Seventh Regiment Cavalry gathered and rounded up over 300 Sioux at Wounded Knee Fort, an attempt at disarming them led ultimately to the massacre of more than 300 Sioux. Also about 40 whites died during the incident.
A deaf American Indian, confused by the orders from the soldiers, refused to follow orders thus starting the incident which ultimately would cost the lives of over 350 people, both Sioux and whites.
The immediate effect was an outpouring of grief and indignation of a kind rarely if ever experienced in the United States. The emotional impact of the crime was heightened by the fact that it occurred almost immediately after the Civil War had ended. The long-term effect was that the goal of the country's well-being changed. Lincoln's plan was simply to reunite the country not really focused on slaves. Without him, the plan shifted a bit. Hope this helped :))
In the ten years following the civil war, a large numbers of former slaves earned a living by becoming "<span>3. Sharecroppers on Southern farms," since their opportunities for advancement were very slim, and moving to the North was often expensive. </span>
