why were native americans displaced from their lands?
o a. they did not want to stay and gave up the lands willingly.
o b. they were forced out by sickness and natural disasters.
o c. they were forced out because they were culturally different and europeans wanted their land.

Explanation:

Native Americans were displaced from their lands mainly because European settlers, driven by land - hunger and cultural differences (they saw Native American cultures as inferior), used various means (including force, treaties under duress) to take over Native American territories. Option a is incorrect as Native Americans did not give up their lands willingly. Option b is not the main reason; while sickness (introduced by Europeans) affected Native Americans, it was not the primary cause of displacement compared to land - grabbing due to cultural differences and European land desire.

Answer:

C. They were forced out because they were culturally different and Europeans wanted their land.
