The correct answer is:
C) Laws and treaties
Explanation:
1. Laws: The U.S. government passed laws such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which allowed for the forced relocation of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands to designated territories.
2. Treaties: Treaties were often used to pressure Native nations into giving up their lands in exchange for promises of protection or compensation. However, many treaties were not upheld, leading to further displacement of Native peoples.
These methods, laws, and treaties were used to force Native nations to leave their homelands, often resulting in significant hardships and loss of cultural heritage for these communities.
