Which of the following is true of the Native American warrior Tecumseh?
ira [324]


The best answer is  (D)

Tecumseh was a native American Chief of the Shawnee tribe. He was born in 1768 in Ohio. His father was killed in 1774 by white men who were violating a treaty by coming on Shawnee land. He decided to become a warrior and defend his land  and his people.

 At the age of 15, he became part of a band of warriors who protected invasion of their lands by attacking flatboats that were travelling from Pennsylvania via the Ohio river.

He tried to unite various Indian tribes to fight against the white men. He was killed in 1813 by American troops and as a result the resistance of the native Indians petered out and ended.

Could the government make the economy less reliant on exports in china?
Basile [38]
Yes but it would require a lot of work, money, and the economy would suffer at first. The first route is to slowly diverge and start importing from other countries. The other countries will use the money to start to produce things we request. This will happen over a long amount of time as other countries go through a sort of revolution and gain new ties with the U.S. The economy will suffer for years and things will become more expensive but in the long run our economy will stabilize and receive things it couldn’t have had before due to industrialization in baren countries and China continues to suffer as they cannot rely on the U.S. for major export.
