Answer:

They were used to working together as a community, not individually.

Explanation:

The Dawes Act of 1887 authorized the President of the United States to survey Native American land and divide this into several allotments that corresponded with individual Native Americans. It also stated that the people who accepted such allotments and lived apart from their tribe would be granted American citizenship. The main purpose of the Act was to abolish communal land in order to make more productive use of the land, assign some of it to white settlers and encourage native assimilation. However, a difficulty faced by the Native Americans was that they were inexperienced in individual ownership and individual farming.

*The Middle Ages are often referred to as the "Dark Ages". Discuss why you feel this is an appropriate or an inappropriate name

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: Appropiate

Explanation: "Dark Ages" is indeed appropiate because the religious people burnt down all the previous knowledge of Romans, such as mathematics, physics, philosophy, etc. All because they wanted everyone to follow "God" and their whole catholic church, so if people were to read all this knowledge, specially the philosophical and religious knowledge that Romans wrote, no one would've gone with the catholic church and believe it.
