Question

the second paragraph from \money to us is of no
we know that these settlers are poor, or they would
not have ventured to live in a country which has
been in continual trouble ever since they crossed the
divide, therefore, this large sum of money which
you have offered us among these people: give to each
a proportion of what you say you would give to us
actually (over and above this very large sum of
money), and we are persuaded they would most readily
accept of it in lieu of the lands you sold them. if you
consider also, the great sums you must expend in raising
and paying armies with a view to force us to yield you
our country, you will certainly have more than sufficient
for the purpose of repaying these settlers for all their
labor and their improvements.
which is the central idea of this paragraph?
the white settlers are poor and in need of us
government assistance.
the us government should pay the settlers for their
service in the military.
the tribes want to share the money given to them
by the us government with the poor settlers.
the us government should pay the settlers to move
elsewhere, not the tribes.

Explanation:

The text argues that the settlers are poor and the money offered to tribes should be given to settlers instead, or that the funds used for military - related to forcing tribes to yield should be used to repay settlers. It implies that the US government should pay the settlers to move elsewhere rather than dealing with tribes.

Answer:

The US government should pay the settlers to move elsewhere, not the tribes.
