Question

although considered oppressive by many modern americans, american reformers of the late 1800s and early 1900s believed they were actually helping native americans when they forced natives to:

• move to the east coast in urban reservations
• emigrate to either mexico (for tribes west of the mississippi river) or quebec, canada (for tribes east of the mississippi river)
• assimilate into (white) american culture
• work as sharecroppers in the south, along with the former slaves

Explanation:

Late 1800s-early 1900s American reformers pushed for Native American assimilation into white American culture, framing this as "helping" by making them adopt Western lifestyles, education, and social norms, despite it being oppressive to Indigenous identities.

Answer:

Assimilate into (White) American culture
