Answer:

A. They were peaceful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout history, Hostile interaction often occurred between Native Indians and the White settlers due to conflicts that might arise regarding land territory, resources ownership, and cultural difference.

If we see it from Native American's perspective, their anger might be a little justified considering that they lived in that region longer and the settlers just came out of nowhere and started taking ownerships over their ancestral land.

Alabama-Coushatta Indians was one of the very few tribes who chose to take diplomatic approach with the settlers rather than hostiles ones. They did not see a way how the tribes could win in a direct fight (considering the difference military's technology), so they took a diplomatic route and acquire land ownership through negotiation.
