the american revolution
how did american independence affect native americans?
it allowed them to keep land that they took from the british during the american revolution.
it helped them become more involved in negotiations and treaties with european countries.
it forced most groups to immediately adopt american culture and abandon their ways of life at once.
it caused them to lose land because many groups fought alongside the british.

Explanation:

During the American Revolution, many Native American groups sided with the British. After American independence, the new United States government saw these Native Americans as enemies (since they had supported the British). As a result, the U.S. government took land from these Native American groups. Native Americans did not keep land taken from the British (they generally didn't take land from the British in a way that was recognized post - revolution). They also did not become more involved in negotiations with European countries as the U.S. was now asserting its own dominance over its territory. And while there was pressure to assimilate over time, it was not an immediate forced adoption of American culture right after independence.

Answer:

It caused them to lose land because many groups fought alongside the British.
