Question

question 15 of 20
read the following excerpt from andrew jacksons speech on indian removal:

the consequences of a speedy removal will be important to the united states, to individual states, and to the indians themselves. the pecuniary financial advantages which it promises to the government are the least of its recommendations. it puts an end to all possible danger of collision between the authorities of the general and state governments on account of the indians.

how does jackson most clearly make a hasty generalization about indian removal in this excerpt?

a. he has no confirmation that the states want the american indians to settle elsewhere.

b. he has no proof that the american indians and the government will have conflicts.

c. he has no evidence that conflict with american indians will end with their removal

Explanation:

A hasty generalization is making a conclusion without sufficient evidence. Jackson claims removing Indians will end conflicts, but he has no proof this will happen. Option A is about states' wishes (not about generalizing conflict end), Option B is about future conflicts (not ending existing ones as Jackson claims). So C is correct as it addresses the lack of evidence for his claim that removal ends conflicts.

Answer:

C. He has no evidence that conflict with American Indians will end with their removal.
