The correct answer is "to attack "tribalism" by dividing the land of nearly all tribes and distributing it to individual Native American families."

The purpose and approach of the Dawes Act was to attack "tribalism" by dividing the land of nearly all tribes and distributing it to individual Native American families.

The Dawes Act was passed to make American Indians property owners and to open up more land for white settlers.

One of the immediate things that happened when Congress passed the Dawes Act of 1887, was that the United States government divided Native American territories by creating individual plots of land. That was the only way for Native American Indians to become American citizens: accepting the split of the land. The government wanted to incorporate the Native Indians into the American culture but it was not an easy task. The Native Indians had so ingrained in their customs, culture, and traditions. As a result of this Act, almost 90 million acres were sold to white settlers.

Why does the moon appear to change shape during the course of a month

padilas [110]

Answer:

The shape of the moon depends on its position around the sun and the different phases.

Explanation:

As the Moon navigates around the Earth, sunlight is reflected.

From Earth, only a part of the moon is visible to us.

The shape of the Moon we see on at night depends on the amount of sunlight is in the face of the moon during its cycle.

The shapes of the Moon are called phases. These phases occur during the Lunar Cycle, which lasts about 27 days.

The Moon is between the Earth and the Sun when the Lunar Cycle begins.

During this phase, the part of the moo reflecting rays from the Sun isn't visible on Earth, so the moon isn't seen at all. This is called New Moon.

What did the railroad strike of 1877 and the homestead strike of 1892 have in common?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is Government troops helped put down both strikes

Explanation:

The fact that government troops had to be called in to end both strikes is perhaps one of the only commonality between both these incidents.

The Great Railroad Strike began on the 14th of July 1877 as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has reduced the wages of it's workers for three consecutive years.

The Strike started in Martinsburg but quickly spread to New York, Illinois, Maryland etc. After 45 days, the strike ended as local militias and government troops were brought in. At the end, over a 100 people lost their lives.

The Homestead Strike began in June 1892 when workers protested to the reduced wages being proposed by the Carnegie Steel Company in the town of Homestead. The strike was proposed by a Union and the manager of the steel plant was determined to end it. Eventually, the company hired detectives to protect the plant and an armed battle began.

Government troops were eventually called in and the strike was broken.
