Unfortunately, you forgot to include the options for this question.

However, trying to help we can say the following.

In the United States, indigenous groups lost property, political rights, aspects of their culture, and often their lives because of invasion by Euro-Americans and others. The capitalist class acquired cheap labor and land through this government-sanctioned racial exploitation. The effects of this internal colonialism are reflected today in the number of Native Americans who live on government reservations.

Let's remember that Andrew Jackson encouraged westward expansion and settlement by supporting the Indian Removal Act.

On May 28, 1830, United States President Andrew Jackson signed the famous Indian Removal Act that supported the westward expansion and invited many Americans to settle territories in the west. These were territories west of the Mississippi, and the President could grant lands in exchange for Native American Indian tribes' lands that already existed within the known US territory.

So this act gave powers to the US President to negotiate the removal of the Native Indians to other territories. The President wanted to support white settling to farm the lands and make them productive.
