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.which phrase from the excerpt uses a strong emotional connotation to help the author emphasize the tragedy that the american indians suffered?
o sweeping blows
o community occurred
o government negotiated
o reluctantly went

Explanation:

• "sweeping blows" has a strong emotional connotation. "Sweeping" implies a large - scale and far - reaching negative impact, and "blows" conveys a sense of harm and tragedy.
• "community occurred" is a neutral description of an event happening within a community.
• "government negotiated" is a more neutral and factual description of a government action.
• "reluctantly went" shows the tribes' attitude but is not as strongly evocative of tragedy as "sweeping blows".

Answer:

sweeping blows
