Question

read the excerpt from \american indian civil rights.\ one of the most sweeping blows to the american indian community occurred in 1830 when president andrew jackson signed the indian removal act. as a result, the government negotiated with tribes to move them to land west of the mississippi river. the government then acquired their previously inhabited land. some tribes reluctantly went along with the act. however, many did not want to abandon their homelands. in this excerpt, the setting \\(\circ\\) creates a mood. \\(\circ\\) develops a character. \\(\circ\\) fuels the external conflict. \\(\circ\\) creates an internal conflict.

Explanation:

The excerpt describes the Indian Removal Act and the conflict between the government (external force) and American Indian tribes over land. The setting (historical context of 1830, government actions, land policies) fuels the external conflict as it involves the government's actions against the tribes' wishes. Mood creation is not the focus, character development is absent, and internal conflict would be within a character, not here.

Answer:

C. fuels the external conflict.
