Question

when cherokee peoples arrived in the oklahoma territory in mid - 1839, they:
a. struggled to establish farms on the land that they were granted.
b. were forced to attend programs to assimilate into american culture.
c. had the opportunities to bury those who died along the way.
d. were forced to leave once again and to continue the march west.

Explanation:

The Cherokee people faced hardships during their forced relocation (Trail of Tears). Upon arriving in Oklahoma territory in mid - 1839, they had the opportunity to bury those who died along the way. Option A is incorrect as they did establish farms. Option B is about later assimilation policies (like in the late 19th - early 20th century, not immediately in 1839). Option D is wrong as Oklahoma was their destination (for a time) in this context.

Answer:

C. had the opportunities to bury those who died along the way.
