Answer:

C. Maggie Lena Walker.

Explanation:

Maggie Lena Walker was born on 15th July, 1864, Virginia to Elizabeth Draper, a former slave, and Eccles Cuthbert, an Irish American confederate soldier. She grew up in the estate of Elizabeth Van Lew whom her mother worked for. There Walker learned about freedom, equality and civil rights.

From a very young age, Walker joined a local council called the Independent Order of St. Luke that worked for the upliftment of the African-American communities. She served the council for the rest of her life.

After her graduation in 1883, she joined as a teacher at Lancaster School, her former childhood school, and worked there for three years. Then after years of studying accounting at night and withdrawing inspiration from Order of St. Luke, Walker established the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank in 1903.

Answer: 4. The Native Americans were not included in any of the Treaty proceedings and were forced to give up their lands over time

Explanation:

Though the treaty ended hostilities between Great Britain and the newly formed U.S. , recognizing it as a soveirgn nation, Britain did nothing to protect Native Americans on the proceedings. The U.K. continued to supply natives with manufactured goods and guns in exchange of furs with the hope that they would stop or hinder westward expansion into the Ohio territory from american settlers, but no legal protection was granted, and over time, american settlers came to dominate and eventually displace Native Americans from their territory.
