question 16 of 20
the sand creek massacre of 1864 and the battle at wounded knee in 1890 are examples of what u.s. policy toward native americans?
a. move them at all costs
b. make them follow white american culture
c. preserve the ancient ways of the native americans
d. combine the two cultures over time

Explanation:

The Sand Creek Massacre and the Battle at Wounded Knee were violent events where the U.S. government used force to displace Native Americans. Option A ("Move them at all costs") aligns with the policy of forcibly relocating or subjugating Native Americans, as these massacres were part of efforts to remove them from their lands. Option B is about cultural assimilation (like boarding schools), not these violent massacres. Options C and D go against the U.S. government's historical policy toward Native Americans, which was not about preserving their culture or combining cultures.

Answer:

A. Move them at all costs
