Under the allotment system, many American Indian families made an effort to succeed at farming but often failed.

The allotment system was created by the Dawes Act. The Dawes Act was an Act of Congress of February 8, 1887, regulating in the United States the distribution of land to Native Americans, in the Indian Territory that will become Oklahoma in 1907. It carried the name of the Massachusetts senator Henry L. Dawes, his principal initiator. The law was amended in 1891 and in 1906 by the Burke Act.

The law pursued two main objectives: first of all, the community structure of the Indians was to be broken and the Indians thus integrated into American society. The Indians should become farmers. As such, according to official opinion, they would need far less land than they claimed for their traditional non-sedentary lifestyle as hunters and gatherers. The Indians themselves fought mostly against a life as a farmer, especially those of the northern Plains. These saw the farm work as unworthy and restrictive. Another advantage of the parcelling saw the government in the liberated surplus land, which it could sell at a profit to whites. Overall, the Indians lost thereby 36 million hectares of a total of 55 million hectares in 1887.

Bruh the answer is 2. "Well, we're not there yet, anyhow," said the oiler, in the stern. cause C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 with C++'s predecessor "C with Classes".When compared to C++, C is a subset of C++.C++ is a superset of C. C++ can run most of C code while C cannot run C++ code.C supports procedural programming paradigm for code development.C++ supports both procedural and object oriented programming paradigms; therefore C++ is also called a hybrid language.C does not support object oriented programming; therefore it has no support for polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance.Being an object oriented programming language C++ supports polymorphism, encapsulation, and inheritance.In C (because it is a procedural programming language), data and functions are separate and free entities.In C++ (when it is used as object oriented programming language), data and functions are encapsulated together in form of an object. For creating objects class provides a blueprint of structure of the object.In C, data are free entities and can be manipulated by outside code. This is because C does not support information hiding. In C++, Encapsulation hides the data to ensure that data structures and operators are used as intended.C, being a procedural programming, it is a function driven language. While, C++, being an object oriented programming, it is an object driven language.C does not support function and operator overloading.C++ supports both function and operator overloading.C does not allow functions to be defined inside structures.In C++, functions can be used inside a structure.C does not have namespace feature.C++ uses NAMESPACE which avoid name collisions. A namespace is a declarative region that provides a scope to the identifiers (the names of types, functions, variables, etc) inside it. Namespaces are used to organize code into logical groups and to prevent name collisions that can occur especially when your code base includes multiple libraries. All identifiers at namespace scope are visible to one another without qualification. Identifiers outside the namespace can access the members by using the fully qualified name for each identifier. C uses functions for input/output. For example scanf and printf.C++ uses objects for input output. For example cin and cout.C does not support reference variables.C++ supports reference variables.C has no support for virtual and friend functions.C++ supports virtual and friend functions.C provides malloc() and calloc() functions for dynamic memory allocation, and free() for memory de-allocation.C++ provides new operator for memory allocation and delete operator for memory de-allocation.C does not provide direct support for error handling (also called exception handling)C++ provides support for exception handling. Exceptions are used for "hard" errors that make the code incorrect.

what methods did the Nazis use to separate Jewish people and other targeted groups from the rest of the population?

Nesterboy [21]

The Nazis separated Jewish people into small, condensed communities called ghettos. They also gave the Jewish populace Yellow patches (or badges), so, they would be able to identify the Jews from the rest of the population.
