What was Congress able to accomplish with its Native American policy under the Articles
of Confederation?
a. Nothing; Congress was so powerless under the Articles that nothing happened in
this area.
b. It negotiated treaties for the tribes to keep their lands, but Congress was so lacking
in power that the treaties proved useless.
c. Congress demanded and received surrenders of large amounts of Indian land north
of the Ohio River and in the South.
d. Congress backed away from any involvement when land companies requested that
the government step aside and leave the West’s economic development in private
hands.
e. Congress recruited enough state militias to force the Native Americans off their
land.
