The correct answer is A) buy the territory from the American Indians.
In the 1870s, gold was discovered in the Blacks Hills. The federal government first tried to buy the territory from the American Indians.
It was the year 1874 when the General Custer expedition found gold in the Black Hills territory in Dakota. In that time, this territory belonged to the Sioux Indians, a Native American tribe. The Gold Rush of Black Hills, Dakota was at its peak between 1876 and 1877, and the government tried at first to buy the land. But the Sioux believed that the land belonged to them because it was inherited by their ancestors.
