The Dawes Act (1887) mark a departure from earlier federal Indian policy by permitting Indians to withdraw private plot from the tribal reservation. Option C is correct.

Under this policy, the United States' government broke up tribal lands by splitting them into individual plots. The Dawes Act of 1887 sought to divide reservations by providing land allotments to individual Native Americans.

This policy was passed by the Congress on February 8, 1887. It received its name because of Senator Henry Dawes of Massachusetts who created and proposed it.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
