When you arrive in Indian Territory (how life has changed)

Answers

Answer:

After the Trail of Tears and relocation of Native Americans was completed the Indian Territory was located in what is now Oklahoma. The years between removal and the 1860’s were called the “Cherokee Golden Age;” a period of great prosperity. The term applies to the successful emulation of the American economy, educational system, and federal and state courts by the Cherokee; the Cherokee Nation built a strong and prosperous infrastructure for a new beginning. Many individuals did not see it as a “Golden Age” because traditional beliefs and cultures were exchanged for assimilation into the American style.

Indian education was used to force Indian students to integrate into the American social system. Early on it was also a means of persuading Indian adults from being hunters to farmers. As hunters needed more land to survive, and farmers needed much less land; this allowed the government to assign Cherokee families a small plot of land, leaving land available for the large number of Americans who wished to settle in the newly acquired area.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
A. A civic responsibility must be fulfilled by citizens.
B. A civic duty must be fulfilled by citizens.
C. A civic duty is for politicians only.
D. There are consequences for not fulfilling civic responsibilities.

Answers

I’m pretty sure it’s d

Answer:

b

Explanation:

civic responsibility is optional while a civic duty is mandatory, like when a male has to sign for selective services once the male turns 18. another example of a civic duty is obeying the law or paying your taxes while a civic responsibility is something like voting (only citizens are allowed to vote), you do not have to vote but it would be nice if you did.

Let me eliminate the answers.

A- this is wrong. you do not need to fufill a responsibility. it is optional.

C- this is wrong. Duties are for all citizens.

D- this is wrong ( im pretty sure ) a consequence can either be good or bad, its not always bad. So why would you recieve bad consequenses for not fufilling civic responsibilites? its not like you HAVE to do it.
