Question

read the quotation on the right, from a senator who opposed the dawes act. which of the following statements supports the senators argument? the stated goals of the dawes act are different from the acts real purpose. american indians will benefit from the dawes act. the dawes act will fail to open lands for white settlement. the dawes act is not a humanitarian act meant to help tribes. the real aim of the dawes act is to get at the indian lands and open them up for settlement. the provisions for the apparent benefit of the indian are but the pretext to get his lands and occupy them.... if this were done in the name of greed it would be bad enough; but to do it in the name of humanity... is infinitely worse. - senator henry m. teller

Explanation:

The senator argues the real aim of the Dawes Act is to obtain Indian lands for settlement and the provisions for Indian benefit are just a pretense. The statement that the stated goals are different from the real purpose supports this view.

Answer:

The stated goals of the Dawes Act are different from the act's real purpose.
