Personally, I could never see myself as a leader, but if I were to be one during this time I would first understand both sides. The U.S government did the wrong thing when it came to this because they basically forced the Natives to leave their homelands. Like uhhhh, where’s the brain?? And to top it off, you have stinky men taking away most of the women and girls just to do the most awful things to them. I would talk to the Natives and say that we would have one side of the land while they had their half. I know it probably wouldn’t have been completely easy for I’m pretty sure the Natives wouldn’t see easily trust Americans. To be honest, no one was innocent during this time, but we know that this land was founded by Natives and I am not going to live to tell my children the whole “Christopher Columbus” thing. I hope my version of this idea helped lol

Answer:
A bribe is to persuade someone with money into doing whatever you desire them to.
Explanation:
Using context clues, "guards" are people who protect something, they didn't have the "money to pay them" so they were looking to pay money to the guards in exchange for a favor therefore we can assume that is the definition of a bribe.
Tom moves to Boston and becomes successful, exacting hard terms and showing no mercy to those in his debt. Growing older, Tom regrets his bargain and searches to find a way out of the pact. He becomes zealous in church attendance, prays loudly and publicly, keeps an open Bible in his home, and always carries a small one with him. He does not, however, give up his harsh business practices.
One hot afternoon, dressed in a white linen cap and silk morning gown, Tom is about to foreclose a mortgage. When the poor victim begs for a delay, reminding Tom of the money he previously made from him, Tom replies, “The devil take me . . . if I have made a farthing!” Immediately, there are three knocks at the door, and standing in the street is Old Scratch and a black horse.
Having left the small Bible in his coat and having covered the large one with the mortgage, Tom is helpless to prevent the devil from placing him on the horse, which gallops off down the streets of Boston. The next day, his house burns to the ground, and Tom never returns. It is said, however, that the swamp and Indian fort are haunted by a spirit on horseback wearing a white cap and morning gown. The story is so well-known, says the narrator, that it is the source of the New England saying, “The Devil and Tom Walker.”
