The 1887 law intended to assimilate Native Americans led to the loss of millions of acres of land.

It dates from 1924 and was a plan to end hyper inflation in Weimar Germany and to restore stability.

Direct link to Logan Herr's post “ElephantFriend KoKo is co...” ElephantFriend KoKo is correct in saying that the 5 Civilized Tribes did not like the Dawes Act. However, there are two inaccuracies that I would like to point out. Firstly, the 5 Civilized Tribes did not originally live in Oklahoma, but in the Deep Southern states of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, as well as parts of other states as well. Secondly, the 5 Civilized tribes were not originally included in the Dawes Act, as the document above states. (6 votes) eshal.bina2012 3 years agoPosted 3 years ago.

Direct link to RohilC's post “As a whole, it generally ...” As a whole, it generally hurt Native Americans. The Dawes Act was an act created to divide and conquer the plains indians, and was also a coercion method to assimilate plains indians into American culture. In addition, this act also sold the remaining, much higher quality land to white settlers of the west, thus increasing the detriment against the plains indians.

Why didn't they just let them stay on their reservations with their own government? • (4 votes) Emil 5 years agoPosted 5 years ago. Direct link to Emil's post “People are generally natu...” People are generally naturally afraid of others that are different than them, as they aren't sure how to approach them and such. The same thing happened with the enslavement of Africans; the Europeans and Americans saw them as different and figured that they were practically a different species. It was very immoral, but the Americans saw their ways as better and were sort of trying to help, though instead caused a lot of grief for the Natives. I hope this answered your question! :) (7 votes) Coleo 8 years agoPosted 8 years ago.

Is this a grammatical error, or am I overthinking it? I feel like there should be a "to" in between '1851' and 'keep'.
I know its very minor, but it will be bothering me all day if I don't leave this comment lol.
