How did the Dawes Act of 1887 affect American Indians’ lives?

History
1 answer:
Lina20 [59]3 years ago
4 0
The objective of the Dawes Act was to assimilate Native American Indians into mainstream US society by annihilating their cultural and social traditions. The land allotted to the Indians included desert or near-desert lands unsuitable for farming. In addition, the techniques of self-sufficient farming were much different from their tribal way of life. Many Indians did not want to take up agriculture, and those who did want to farm could not afford the tools, animals, seed, and other supplies necessary to get started. There were also problems with inheritance. Often young children inherited allotments that they could not farm because they had been sent away to boarding schools. Multiple heirs also caused a problem; when several people inherited an allotment, the size of the holdings became too small for efficient farming.

What is one of the primary reasons for the collapse of socialist/communist economic systems, particularly in the soviet union?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
A. Government failure  to distribute resources effectively.

Although the foundation of a socialist/ communist nation is that of distribution of wealth equitably, governments, like the Soviet Union, failed  to ensure just that. Due to lack of poor decisions and corruption, a large gap started to form between the rich (bourgeoise)  and  the poor (proletariat). Thus, a mass struggle ensued, which in turn resulted in the collapse of the system.
