Answer:

The "Dawes Act" was enacted.

Explanation:

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.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Crowded and unsafe living conditions.

Explanation:

Most immigrants in the early 1800s would probably be very poor, especially after spending the money to travel to an entirely new country. Most immigrants were probably escaping from corrupt governments, looking for religious freedom, or simply wanting a fresh start. They mostly travelled in big groups, either families or neighbors or small communities, and because of this, their housing was probably cramped, run down, and very quickly and poorly built to account for this influx of new people pouring into the US.
