houston granted land to the cherokee, while lamar was determined to remove tribes from texas.
lamar sought peaceful coexistence, while houston aimed for tribal removal.
both presidents pursued aggressive military actions against the tribes.
lamar signed treaties that were respected, unlike houstons broken agreements.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Sam Houston had more lenient policies (e.g., land grants to Cherokee), while Mirabeau Lamar wanted to remove tribes from Texas. This matches historical knowledge.
• Option 2: Lamar was not for peaceful coexistence; Houston was more lenient, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Houston did not pursue aggressive military actions, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: Lamar's treaties were often broken, and Houston's were more respected in intent, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Houston granted land to the Cherokee, while Lamar was determined to remove tribes from Texas.
