Helen Hunt Jackson was a writer and poet of America who, later on, became an activist. <em>She provided remedy to the injustices experienced by the Native Americans.</em> Due to this, she wrote the book <u>"A Century of Dishonor."</u> The book clearly depicted the sufferings of the Native Americans, including the mistreatment and the promises of the US government that were broken. It also spoke about the massacres done by the white to the Native Americans.
The book faced many criticisms, but in the end it actually worked to change the mindset of the government. Thus, the "Dawes Act" was born. The act provided the allotment of lands to the Indians on the different parts of the reservation areas. It helped protect their properties. It partly addressed the issues Jackson stated and helped the tribes in some ways.
Freedom of religion was added to the first amendment because their wasn't that much freedom with some people religions because other people didn't like what they believed
the ideological conflict between both the United States and the Soviet Union, the emergence of nuclear weapons, and the fear of communism in the United States.
